22

another consent form, and plaintiff is directed to indicate on the form whether he consents to the

jurisdiction of the undersigned, or whether he declines to consent to such jurisdiction. In addition

24

to signing in only one of the appropriate areas, plaintiff should insert a check mark or “x” inside

25

the box to the left of the appropriate choice, i.e. “consent” or “decline.”
