Defendants.
This matter is before the court sua sponte.

On February 8, 2013, the parties consented to jurisdiction before a magistrate
judge.

See Filing No. 36 - Rule 26(f) Report.

However, the defendants Mary S.

McKeever (McKeever) and Loretta Vondra (Vondra) were not served until March 12,
2013. See Filing Nos. 42 and 44 - Proof of Service. Therefore, McKeever and Vondra
have not consented to jurisdiction before a magistrate judge. All parties must consent
before the case may proceed before a magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1).
Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED:
Defendants Mary S. McKeever and Loretta Vondra have until June 17, 2013, to
consent to jurisdiction before the undersigned judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1),
otherwise this case will be reassigned in accordance with this court’s standard
procedures.

Dated this 3rd day of June, 2013.
