January 11, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER REFERRING #5 Plaintiff's MOTION to Expedite Discovery to Third Parties filed by TracFone Wireless, Inc. Motion referred to Judge Jonathan Goodman. Signed by Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga on 1/11/2019. See attached document for full details. (ps1)
January 10, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 8 PAPERLESS ORDER re #5 Plaintiff's MOTION to Expedite Discovery to Third Parties filed by TracFone Wireless, Inc. At 3:58 p.m. this afternoon, Plaintiff filed [ECF No. 5] a motion for limited expedited discovery. At 5:45 p.m., Plaintiff's counsel submitted to the Undersigned's efile inbox, pursuant to the Court's CM/ECF Procedures, a proposed order granting the motion.It seems clear that Plaintiff's counsel believes that the Undersigned is the appropriate judicial officer to issue the requested Order. I am not -- at least as of now.To be sure, I am the magistrate judge assigned to District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga. And it is also correct that Judge Altonaga routinely refers discovery motions to me in other cases as her paired magistrate judge. But that has not yet happened in this case. Therefore, I do not yet have jurisdiction to rule on the motion filed this afternoon -- or any other motion, for that matter.If Judge Altonaga were to issue a referral, then the Undersigned would have authority to rule on discovery motions. But referrals are not self-executing, and I cannot assume that a referral will in fact be issued. Similarly, I cannot start willy-nilly issuing discovery rulings before a referral is entered because I predict that a referral will be issued. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 1/10/2019. (JG)
