1 2 3 6 7 SOLOMON JAMES M. ANDREWS, Case No. 25-cv-09804-SVK g Plaintiff, ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO 9 v. REASSIGN CASE 10 SUI QINGBO, et al., 11 Defendants. All named parties, including unserved defendants, must consent before a magistrate E 13 || judge has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1) to hear and decide a case. See 14 || Williams v. King, 875 F.3d 500, 503 (9th Cir. 2017) (magistrate judge lacked jurisdiction 15 || to dismiss case on initial screening because unserved defendants had not consented to a 16 || proceed before magistrate judge). It appears that this case requires a decision dispositive 17 || of one or more defendants or claims at this time, and consent of all parties has not been 18 || obtained. Accordingly, the Clerk shall reassign this case to a district judge pursuant to the 19 || Court’s assignment plan. 21 Dated: March 23, 2026 22 23 Sess vet Susan van Keulen 24 United States Magistrate Judge 25 26 27 28
