For the Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

filed a written consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction jurisdiction. This civil case was randomly
12
assigned to the undersigned magistrate judge for all purposes including trial. In accordance with 28
13
U.S.C. § 636(c), the magistrate judges of this district court are designated to conduct any and all
14
proceedings in a civil case, including trial and entry of final judgment, upon the consent of the
15
parties. An appeal from a judgment entered by a magistrate judge may be taken directly to the
16
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the same manner as an appeal from any other
17
judgment of a district court.
18
You have the right to have your case assigned to a United States District Judge for trial and
19
disposition. Accordingly, Plaintiffs shall inform the Court whether they consent to magistrate judge
20
jurisdiction or requests reassignment to a United States District Judge for trial. A copy of both the
21
consent and declination forms may be obtained from the Northern District of California's website at
22
http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/. From the homepage, choose "Forms" and then "Civil Forms." The
23
consent/declination form shall be filed by September 13, 2011.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
