ORDER

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.

The court’s records show that defendant has not yet indicated whether or not she consents

19

to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge for all purposes pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).

20

Accordingly, within fourteen (14) days of this order, defendant shall file a brief statement

21

indicating whether or not she consents to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge for all purposes,

22

including the entry of final judgment, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). Importantly, defendant is

23

under no obligation to so consent, but defendant’s designation in that regard assists the court in

24

determining how the case will be administratively processed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
