ORDER THAT CASE BE REASSIGNED
TO A DISTRICT JUDGE
[Re: Docket No. 17]

20
On April 4, 2011, Plaintiffs filed a motion for a default judgment against Defendant Miller
21
Electric & Technology, Inc. (“MET”). This case is assigned to a magistrate judge. Magistrate
22
judges, however, have authority to order the entry of judgment in a case only upon consent of the
23
parties. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1). Plaintiffs consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction on April 8,
24
2011. MET, however, has filed neither a consent nor a declination. Because Plaintiffs have applied
25
to this court for final disposition against a party who has not consented to the jurisdiction of the
26
magistrate judge,
