vs.
CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner
of Social Security Administration,

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

Defendant(s).

11

Northern District of California

United States District Court

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

case more expeditiously than the undersigned district judge.

17

Accordingly, the parties are hereby DIRECTED to advise the Court, no later than May 31,

18

2013, whether they consent to have a magistrate judge conduct all further proceedings in the instant

19

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

available at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov, in the “Forms” section. The parties are further advised

24

that they may jointly request assignment to a specific magistrate judge.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
