consented to the assignment of the case to the magistrate.
YOU ARE DIRECTED to return the enclosed consent form to the Clerk of Court

no later than thirty (30) days from the date of notification, indicating on the form
whether you do or do not consent to the magistrate judge’s jurisdiction over this case.
In the event you do not consent, an Article III judge will be reassigned jurisdiction of
