Defendants.

15

This case is ready for trial. The pretrial conference, which was set for December 13,

16

2021, was vacated due to COVID-19 General Order 21-17, superseded by General Order

17

21-18. The case was referred for a settlement conference but did no settle. Courtroom

18

proceedings having now resumed, but this Court has very limited trial availability.

19

Therefore, the Court shall transfer the case to another Judge for trial.

20

The Court contacted the parties and informed them of the availability of a magistrate

21

judge to try the case by consent, which must be voluntarily given by all parties without any

22

adverse substantive consequences from withholding such consent. The parties informed

23

the Court that they consent to proceed to trial before a Magistrate Judge pursuant to Fed.

24

R. Civ. P.73(a) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1). The case shall be transferred to the Honorable

25

Magistrate Judge Bruce G. Macdonald for trial. Rule 73(a); 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1). He is

26

available to conduct any or all proceedings in this case including a jury or nonjury trial,

27

and to order the entry of a final judgment. An appeal from a judgment entered by a

28

magistrate judge shall be taken directly to the United States court of appeals for this judicial

1

circuit in the same manner as an appeal from any other judgment of a district court.

2

Accordingly,

3

IT IS ORDERED that within 7 days of the filing date of this Order, the parties shall

4

memorialize and file their voluntary consent in accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.

5

636(c) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 73, to have a United States magistrate judge conduct any and all

6

further proceedings in the case, including the trial, order the entry of a final judgment, and

7

conduct all post-judgment proceedings.

8

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that that this case is assigned to the Honorable

9

Magistrate Judge Bruce G. Macdonald, for all further proceedings and the entry of

10

judgment in accordance with: 28 U.S.C. 636(c), Fed.R.Civ.P. 73, and the foregoing consent

11

of the parties. All further documents filed with the court are to carry the following case
