v.
CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

For the Northern District of California
United States District Court

No. C 10-4313 SBA
ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO
INFORM COURT WHETHER THEY
CONSENT TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE
FOR ALL PURPOSES
Defendant.
_______________________________/

13
In cases initially assigned to a district judge, the parties may consent at any time to
14
reassignment of the case to a magistrate judge for all purposes, including entry of final judgment.
15
See Civil L.R. 73-1(b). This option is being made available because the magistrate judges in this
16
district have smaller civil dockets and no felony criminal cases and may be able to adjudicate this
17
case more expeditiously than the undersigned district judge.
18
Accordingly, the parties are hereby DIRECTED to advise the court, no later than July 11,
19
2014, whether they consent to have a magistrate judge conduct all further proceedings in the instant
20
action. Normally the parties would be directed to so inform the court in their Joint Case
21
Management Statement filed in connection with the initial case management conference. However,
22
because this case involves a review of an administrative record, a case management conference has
23
not been scheduled. The parties are advised that they may jointly request assignment to a specific
24
magistrate judge. For the parties' convenience, a consent form is attached hereto; forms are also
25
available at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov, in the "Forms" section.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
