20

21

Court’s order and has not filed a consent or declination to the jurisdiction of a United

22

States Magistrate Judge. Form attached.

Plaintiff is ordered to respond to the order to show cause and file a consent or

24

26

orders is proper grounds for dismissal. See Hells Canyon Pres. Council v. U.S. Forest
