UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
for the
Southern District of Illinois
vs.
Case Number:
NOTICE AND CONSENT TO
PROCEED BEFORE A MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Notice of a magistrate judge’s availability. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), a United States
magistrate judge of this court is available to conduct all proceedings in this civil action (including a
jury or nonjury trial) and to order the entry of a final judgment. The judgment may then be appealed
directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit like any other judgment of this
court. A magistrate judge may exercise this authority only if all parties voluntarily consent. You may
consent to have your case referred to a magistrate judge, or you may withhold your consent without
substantive adverse consequences.
Note: If this case is transferred on consent to a magistrate judge, major criminal cases will not
interfere with its scheduling and progress. This means that it is likely this civil case will be resolved
sooner and at less expense to the parties if a magistrate judge decides the case.
Consent to a magistrate judge’s authority. The following parties consent to have a magistrate
judge conduct all proceedings in this case including trial, entry of final judgment, and all post-trial
proceedings.
