November 2, 2021 Filing 8 Judge Douglas P. Woodlock: ELECTRONIC ORDER FOR TRANSFER entered. MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: This case was erroneously assigned to my docket as a result of a failure by docketing personnel in the Clerks Office to recognize that it is not related to the MDL proceeding assigned to me. I understand that the relevant personnel have since received training to avoid such errors in the future. The Clerks Office nevertheless takes the position that the matter may not reassigned by their corrective action alone but requires some action of a judicial officer under the Local Rules. As the Chair of the Local Rules Committee when the relevant rules were adopted, see generally L.R. 40.(g), I respectfully disagree with that interpretation. Rather than spend time at this point disputing and, if necessary clarifying rule language, however, I have simply consulted with the Chief Judge and under L.R. 40.1(i) and with the approval of the Chief Judge hereby return the case for reassignment by the Clerk through the random draw appropriate for this case, under which all eligible judges -including me - will be eligible for proper assignment according to the luck of the draw. This action is taken to insure the parties receive timely notice of the properly assigned presiding judge and is without prejudice to consideration by the Court as a whole whether Local Rule 40.1 should be amended in some fashion to eliminate any further misunderstanding by the Clerks Office.
