ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES
TO INFORM COURT WHETHER
THEY CONSENT TO
MAGISTRATE JUDGE FOR ALL
PURPOSES

14
In cases initially assigned to a district judge, the parties may consent at any time to
15
reassignment of the case to a magistrate judge for all purposes, including entry of final
16
judgment. See Civil L.R. 73-1(b). Accordingly, the parties are hereby DIRECTED to advise
17
the Court, no later than November 13, 2012, as to whether they consent to have a magistrate
18

judge conduct all further proceedings in the instant action.1 For the parties’ convenience,

19
consent forms are available at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov, in the “Forms” section. The
20
parties are further advised that they may jointly request assignment to a specific magistrate
21
judge.
22
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.
