April 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 48 ENDORSED email from Mark Kaufman dated 4/8/2022. The Court appreciates Plaintiff's inquiry. To the extent Plaintiff is anticipating immediate action on the motion for default judgment, it should understand the following. Absent consent of all parties, only a district judge can enter judgment and injunctive relief. The default motion was referred by Judge Nathan, shortly before her elevation to the Court of Appeals, to me for report and recommendation in due course. Although Plaintiff moved for expedited discovery, it did not move for preliminary injunctive relief. If Plaintiff now finds the need for expedited action on injunctive relief and entry of judgment, it should seek relief from Judge Failla to whom the case has been reassigned. (HEREBY ORDERED by Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger) (Text Only Order) (rsh)
