Any other matter, not covered above, which the party desires to call to the

of the action or preclusion of issues or witnesses. See Local Rule 110.

The parties are informed that they may, if all consent, have this case tried by a

18

United States Magistrate Judge while preserving their right to appeal to the United States Court

19

of Appeals. An appropriate form for consent to trial by a Magistrate Judge is attached. Any

20

party choosing to consent may complete the form and return it to the clerk of this court. Neither

21

the Magistrate Judge nor the District Judge handling the case will be notified of the filing of a

22

consent form unless all parties to the action have consented.

23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

24
