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

Defendant.
_________________________________/

reassignment of the case to a magistrate judge for all purposes, including entry of final

12

judgment. See Civil L.R. 73-1(b). This option is being made available because the

13

magistrate judges in this district have smaller civil dockets and no felony criminal cases and

14

may be able to adjudicate this case more expeditiously than the undersigned district judge.

15

On February 28, 2013, defendant filed a consent to proceed before a magistrate judge.

16

Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby DIRECTED to advise the court, no later than March

17

22, 2013, whether she consents to have a magistrate judge conduct all further proceedings

18

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

19

Joint Case Management Statement filed in connection with the initial case management

20

conference. However, because this case involves a review of an administrative record, a

21

case management conference has not been scheduled. The parties are advised that they

22

may jointly request assignment to a specific magistrate judge. For plaintiff’s convenience, a

23

consent form is attached hereto; forms are also available at http://cand.uscourts.gov, in the

24

"Forms" section.
