Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to TRANSFER this case to District Judge McGlynn. All further pleadings filed herein shall be styled with the suffix -SPM. In light of this transfer, the Notice regarding consent at Doc. 11 is STRICKEN. Case reassigned to Judge Stephen P. McGlynn for all further proceedings. Magistrate Judge Reona J. Daly no longer assigned to case. Signed by Magistrate Judge Reona J. Daly on 1/30/2023. (nmf)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. (Entered: 01/30/2023)
