TO: COUNSEL OF RECORD AND PARTIES PRO SE: FROM: AGALELEI ELKINGTON , Deputy Clerk RE: NOTICE OF INITIAL ASSIGNMENT TO A UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE TO EXERCISE JURISDICTION AND REQUIREMENT FOR CONSENT: This is to advise that your case has been initially assigned to United States Magistrate Judge Monica J. Benton. This case will be retained by the magistrate judge for any and all proceedings only in the event that all parties consent to such assignment. You are referred to 28 U.S.C. 636(c), F.R.C.P. 73 and Local MJR 13. You are not required to consent to the assignment of this case to the Magistrate Judge.

An appeal from a judgment entered by a magistrate judge shall be taken directly to the United States Court of Appeals for this judicial circuit in the same manner as an appeal from any other judgment of this district court. Should you elect to consent pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(c), please return the enclosed consent form by the date indicated on the form by either faxing the executed form to 206-370-8425 or mailing to 700 Stewart St., Lobby Level, Seattle Washington 98101 to the attention of Agalelei Elkington, Deputy Clerk.
