Plaintiff,

ORDER

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.

Briefing in this social security appeal is now complete, and the matter is submitted for

19

decision on the record and written briefing without oral argument. However, upon review of the

20

record, the court notes that plaintiff has not yet indicated whether or not she consents to the

21

jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). Plaintiff is under

22

no obligation to so consent, but a consent/decline designation assists the court in determining how

23

the action will be administratively processed. Accordingly, within fourteen (14) days of this

24

order, plaintiff shall file an appropriate consent/decline designation.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
