Plaintiff,

On December 12, 2012, Plaintiff filed a notice that he consents to proceed before a

14

Magistrate Judge for all purposes. In cases initially assigned to a district judge, the parties may

15

consent at any time to reassignment of the case to a magistrate judge for all purposes, including

16

entry of final judgment. See Civil L.R. 73-1(b). Accordingly, the Defendant is hereby

17

DIRECTED to advise the Court, no later than December 21, 2012, as to whether he consents to

18

have a magistrate judge conduct all further proceedings in the instant action.1 Consent forms

19

are available at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov, in the “Forms” section. The parties are further

20

advised that they may jointly request assignment to a specific magistrate judge.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Normally, the Court would direct the parties to so inform the Court in their joint
case management statement filed in connection with a case management conference.
Because the instant action involves a review of an administrative record, however, a case
management conference has not been scheduled.
