11 11 order Reassignment Order ~Util - Set/Clear Flags ~Util - Terminate Deadlines and Hearings ~Util - Set/Reset All Hearings Fri 04/12 11:50 AM
ORDER that the Honorable Susan Bazis was recently confirmed to serve as U.S. District Court Judge, thereby leaving a vacancy for her prior position as Magistrate Judge. This case was previously assigned to Magistrate Judge Bazis for judicial supervision. Until such time as this vacancy is filled, there exist pretrial and posttrial matters in the case that cannot be effectively and timely reassigned to an available judge of the district. Accordingly, the Court has determined it is necessary to appoint a master to ensure the timely progression of this case. Such appointment shall be of temporary duration and shall end upon the appointment of a new Magistrate Judge. The parties are given 14 days to file any objections to this proposed appointment. If the parties do not consent to the appointment of a master, the case will remain assigned solely to Judge Bataillon until a new Magistrate Judge is appointed. If the Court receives no objections, it will deem the parties to have consented to the appointment and will file the attached Appointment Order. Ordered by Senior Judge Joseph F. Bataillon. (JLS)
