CIVIL NEW CASE DOCUMENTS ISSUED (Attachments: # 1 Consent Form, # 2 Order re Filing Requirements, # 3 VDRP) (Donati, J)

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A MAGISTRATE JUDGE
TO EXERCISE JURISDICTION AND APPEAL INSTRUCTIONS

You are hereby notified in accordance with 28 U.S.C §636(c), F.R.Civ.P.73 and Local Rule 305,
the United States Magistrate Judges sitting in Sacramento and Fresno are available to exercise the
court's case dispositive jurisdiction and to conduct any or all case despositive proceedings in this
action, including motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, a jury or non jury trial, and entry
of a final judgment. Exercise of this jurisdiction by a Magistrate Judge is however, permitted only if
all parties voluntarily consent. You may, without adverse substantive consequences, withhold your
consent, but this will prevent the court's case dispositive jurisdiction from being exercised by a
Magistrate Judge.
Any appeal from a judgment entered by a Magistrate Judge is taken directly to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit or, where appropriate, for the Federal Circuit in the same
manner as an appeal from any other judgment of a District Court.
Whether or not the parties consent pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the assigned Magistrate Judge
will hear all motions except those case dispositive motions set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A).
A copy of the Form for "Consent to / Decline of Jurisdiction of United States Magistrate Judge"
is attached hereto for pro per use and attorney information. This form is available in fillable .pdf format
on the court's web site at www.caed.uscourts.gov for all attorney ECF filers. This form may be filed
through CM/ECF or by pro se litigants at the appropriate Clerk's Office location.
