TO ALL COUNSEL OF RECORD
RE:

CPL. Laurie A. Davenport v. William T. Blackiston
Civil No. SAG-13-1249

Dear Counsel:
The above-referenced case was referred to me for all proceedings, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
'636(c) and Local Rule 301.4, on October 14, 2016. (ECF No. 74).
I understand that your clients consent to proceed before a Magistrate Judge. The case file,
however, does not contain written consent from the Defendant. Accordingly, the appropriate
consent form should be accessed on the court=s web site, www.mdd.uscourts.gov, by going to
AForms and Manuals,@ clicking on ACivil,@ and selecting the form AConsent to Proceed Before U.S.
Magistrate Judge.@ The electronic form should then be electronically filed no later than Friday,
October 28, 2016.
A conference call has been set for Friday, October 28, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. to discuss a
trial date. I would ask that Plaintiff’s counsel please arrange for and initiate the call. I note that
this case has been referred to Magistrate Judge Coulson for a settlement conference, on a date to
be scheduled.
Finally, please note that my initials, as listed above, should be used on all further
correspondence and filings with the Court.
Despite the informal nature of this letter, it is an Order of the Court and will be docketed as
such.
Sincerely yours,
/s/
Stephanie A. Gallagher
United States Magistrate Judge
