ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Defendant.

This case was filed on July 9, 2024. ECF No. 1. This action has been assigned to the

19

Magistrate Judge under the court’s automated case assignment plan. See Local Rules, Appendix

20

A, subsection (m). Pursuant to the Local Rule and the Civil Case Documents issued in this case

21

(ECF No. 4) the parties are required to return the “CONSENT / DECLINE OF U.S.

22

MAGISTRATE JUDGE JURISDICTION” form to the Clerk within 90 days from the date the

23

action was filed, or within 14 days of removal from state court. ECF No. 4 at 2. The parties were

24

cautioned that “[f]ailure to do so may result in the court vacating a hearing or declining to resolve

25

the motion until all consent designations have been submitted.” Id.

26

Because this action was filed initially in federal court, the parties’ consent/decline forms

27

were due on October 7, 2024. The parties have not filed their forms. The parties are therefore

28

ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing within 10 days of this order why they have not filed

their consent/decline forms. Submission of the forms will automatically discharge this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
