ORDER by Magistrate Judge Kevin R. Sweazea setting consent deadline. (sls)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO

DIANE MARIE LOCHTEFELD,
Plaintiff,
vs.

No. 1:17-CV-00653-KRS

NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting
Commissioner of the Social Security
Administration,
Defendant.
ORDER SETTING DEADLINE TO CONSENT
TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court sua sponte, following a review of the record in the
above-titled cause. On June 19, 2017, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b)(1), the Court entered a
text only notice advising the parties of their opportunity to consent to the undersigned’s plenary
jurisdiction over this matter. Due to the character of the instant proceeding, the Court finds that
the interests of judicial economy are best served by imposing a consent deadline of ten (10) days.
The parties are reminded that consent is strictly voluntary and there are no adverse consequences
for withholding consent.
Accordingly, should the parties choose to consent, it is hereby ORDERED that such
consent shall be filed with the Court within ten (10) days of the entry of this order.
