The Court advises the parties of their right to consent to general Magistrate Judge

23

previously consented to having Magistrate Judge Ruth Bermudez Montenegro conduct all

24

proceedings. (ECF No. 5.) However, Judge Montenegro is no longer the judge assigned

27

form for Plaintiff to complete. The executed form must be received by the Clerk of
