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

Defendant.
_______________________________/

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

For the Northern District of California

United States District Court

10

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

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

16

December 23, 2013, whether they consent to have a magistrate judge conduct all further

17

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

18

court in their Joint Case Management Statement filed in connection with the initial case

19

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

20

administrative record, a case management conference has not been scheduled. The

21

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

22

For the parties’ convenience, a consent form is attached hereto; forms are also available at

23

http://www.cand.uscourts.gov, in the "Forms" section.
