Order

Case Reassigned

ENDORSED ORDER re 1 Complaint. Text of Order: On April 7, 2025, a student filed case number 25-cv-133 challenging a change to his SEVIS record made by the Department of Homeland Security. That case was randomly assigned to District Judge Samantha D. Elliott and Magistrate Judge Talesha L. Saint-Marc. This case, 25-cv-156, is a class action on behalf of other students also challenging changes to their SEVIS records made by the Department of Homeland Security. Because this case raises the same issues as in 25-cv-133, this case shall be reassigned to District Judge Samantha D. Elliott and Magistrate Judge Talesha L. Saint-Marc in the interest of judicial economy. So Ordered by Chief Judge Landya B. McCafferty. (ko)

Case reassigned to Judge Samantha D. Elliott. The new case designation is: 1:25-cv-00156-SE. Please show this number with the correct judge designation on all further pleadings.(ko)
