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 22, 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.1 The Court finds that the interests of judicial economy are best
served by imposing a consent deadline of seven (7) 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 seven (7) days of the entry of this order.
