Doc. 5. Such an order, 23 24 however, contravened established law that a magistrate judge cannot make a final and binding 25 disposition absent designation by a district judge or consent by the parties, and therefore issued in 26 error. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), (c)(1); Local Rules 302-305. 27 28 To correct the error, the Court hereby vacates its December 30, 2015 order. Doc. 5.
