CAROLINE W. COLVIN,

Defendant.

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

9
In cases assigned to a district judge, the parties may consent at any time to

10

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

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

14

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

15

judge.

16

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

17

October 28, 2015, whether they consent to have a magistrate judge conduct all further

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
