If the parties consent to proceed before the Magistrate Judge, counsel for Defendant

filed using the “Proposed Consent to Jurisdiction by US Magistrate Judge” filing event in
accordance with ECF Rule 13.27. If the Court approves that form, then all further proceedings
will be conducted before the designated Magistrate Judge.
If either party does not consent to conducting all further proceedings before the
