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

Case No.: 13-CV-01724-YGR
ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO
INFORM COURT WHETHER THEY
CONSENT TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE
FOR ALL PURPOSES

Defendant.

13
14

The parties may consent at any time to reassignment of the case to a magistrate judge for all

15

purposes, including entry of final judgment. See Civil L.R. 73-1(b). This option is being made

16

available because the magistrate judges in this district have smaller civil dockets and no felony

17

criminal cases and may be able to adjudicate this case more expeditiously than the undersigned

18

district judge.
19
20

Accordingly, the parties are hereby DIRECTED to advise the Court, no later than May 28,

21

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

22

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

23

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

24
25

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

26

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

27

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

28

that they may jointly request assignment to a specific magistrate judge. Counsel shall consult with

1

5

their clients regarding reassignment to a magistrate judge, and (if both parties consent to
reassignment) shall meet and confer with opposing counsel to select a specific magistrate judge.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 13, 2013
