the defendants in this action are proceeding in propria persona. Therefore, further proceedings in 

this action, other than discovery motions and matters otherwise appropriately referred to the 

undersigned under the court’s Local Rules, should now be noticed before the assigned district 

judge. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This case is referred to the assigned district judge pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21). 

2. All dates before the undersigned, including the March 10, 2016 status conference, are 

VACATED.
