ADMINISTRATIVE TRANSFER. Because the Petition requests immediate injunctive relief prior to all parties having had an opportunity to consent to proceed before the Magistrate Judge, this case was placed back in the random draw for reassignment to a District Judge. Accordingly, this case has been randomly reassigned to District Judge Phillips for all further proceedings. The new case number is 6:26-cv-03165-BP. This is a TEXT ONLY ENTRY. No document is attached.(RF) (Entered: 03/18/2026)
