Case No.: 12-CV-1420 YGR

Plaintiff,

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

vs.
MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF
SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.

In cases initially assigned to a district judge, the parties may consent at any time to

11

reassignment of the case to a magistrate judge for all purposes, including entry of final judgment. See
Northern District of California

United States District Court

12
13

Civil L.R. 73-1(b). This option is being made available because the magistrate judges in this district

14

have smaller civil dockets and no felony criminal cases and may be able to adjudicate this case more

15

expeditiously than the undersigned district judge.

16

Accordingly, the parties are hereby DIRECTED to advise the Court, no later than November

17
18

26, 2012, whether they consent to have a magistrate judge conduct all further proceedings in the

19

instant action. Normally the parties would be directed to so inform the court in their Joint Case

20

Management Statement filed in connection with the initial case management conference. However,

21

because this case involves a review of an administrative record, a case management conference has

22

not been scheduled. For the parties’ convenience, a consent form is attached hereto; forms are also

23
24
25
26

28

available at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov, in the “Forms” section. The parties are further advised
that they may jointly request assignment to a specific magistrate judge.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: November 8, 2012
