Pending before the Court is Defendants' Order to Show Cause, filed on December 16, 2005. Upon review of the record in this action, the Court notes that the parties have not filed written

19 20 consents to Magistrate Judge James' jurisdiction or requests for reassignment to a United States 21 District Court judge for trial. This civil case was randomly assigned to United States Magistrate 22 Judge Maria-Elena James for all purposes including trial. In accordance with Title 28, U.S.C. § 23 636(c), the Magistrate Judges of this District Court are designated to conduct any and all 24 proceedings in a civil case, including a jury or non-jury trial, and to order the entry of final 25 judgment, upon the consent of the parties. An appeal from a judgment entered by Magistrate Judge 26 James may be taken directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the same 27 manner as an appeal from any other judgment of a district court. 28
