November 2, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 11 MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Ana de Alba on 11/2/2023: (Text Only Entry) *The parties are advised that pursuant to the undersigned's standing order and Local Rule 230(g), the recently filed #8 motion to remand will be decided on the papers. No hearing will be calendared. Local Rule 230, as revised March 1, 2022, will govern the filing of oppositions and replies. The Court orders the parties to reconsider Magistrate Judge consent for all purposes or for the limited purpose of deciding this motion as this may alleviate some of the delays caused by the resource emergency. Unfortunately, despite all diligent efforts to address the backlog of more than 130 motions in Judge de Alba's recently re-assigned caseload, it may still be months before the parties' pending motion is resolved. The Court understands the impact that such a backlog has on the parties and is working to resolve all pending motions expeditiously.(Hernandez, M)
