Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis application. Upon review of the

13

record in this action, the Court notes that Plaintiff has not filed a written consent to magistrate judge

14

jurisdiction. This civil case was randomly assigned to the undersigned magistrate judge for all

15

purposes including trial. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the magistrate judges of this district

16

court are designated to conduct any and all proceedings in a civil case, including trial and entry of

17

final judgment, upon the consent of the parties. An appeal from a judgment entered by a magistrate

18

judge may be taken directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the same

19

manner as an appeal from any other judgment of a district court.

20

You have the right to have your case assigned to a United States District Judge for trial and

21

disposition. Accordingly, Plaintiff shall inform the Court, by way of the enclosed form, whether he

22

consents to magistrate judge jurisdiction or requests reassignment to a United States District Judge

23

for trial. The consent/declination form shall be filed by November 15, 2011.
