(ECF No. 101.) Shortly after, Plaintiff Teron Franklin 12 filed an objection to the order assigning this case on consent. (ECF No. 103.) The Court 13 construes the objection as a motion to withdraw his consent to proceed before a 14 magistrate judge and ordered Defendants to respond accordingly. (ECF No. 104.) 15 Defendants responded to the objection and opposed the motion to withdraw consent. 16 (ECF No. 105.) 17 In 2019, the Ninth Circuit explicitly ruled only a district judge may rule on a motion 18 to withdraw consent to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge.
