UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
IN THE MATTER OF REASSIGNMENT
OF REFERRALS
________________________________/
FRANK LAWRENCE,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No. 1:09-cv-95 Administrative Order
No. 20-CA-004
ERIC PELTON, et al.,
Defendants.
________________________________/
FRANK LAWRENCE,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No. 1:10-cv-467
TIMOTHY J. RAUBINGER,
Defendant.
__________________________________/
The above-listed cases were previously deemed related to another case in this district, Case
No. 1:17-cv-289, Lawrence v. Pelton. All three cases are assigned to District Judge Paul L.
Maloney, however, the magistrate judge assignment differs between the three cases. Magistrate
Judge Kent is assigned in 1:17-cv-289 and Magistrate Judge Phillip J. Green would normally
receive referrals in the above listed cases, but Magistrate Judge Green participated in a three-judge
panel to review the Plaintiff’s petition for admission to the Bar of this Court. Plaintiff’s petition
was ultimately denied by the panel (Admin. Order 18-AD-013, 1:17-mc-98).
With the consent of both Magistrate Judge Green and Magistrate Judge Kent, referrals in
these cases will be reassigned to Magistrate Judge Kent.
A copy of this Administrative Order shall be filed in each case referenced herein.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: January 10, 2020
ROBERT J. JONKER
CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
