III. Consent to Magistrate Judge

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), to the parties who have not consented to conduct all 

further proceedings in this case, including trial,

1

before United States Magistrate Judge Stanley A. 

Boone, you should be informed that because of the pressing workload of United States district 

judges and the priority of criminal cases under the United States Constitution, you are encouraged

to consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction in an effort to have your case adjudicated in a timely 

and cost effective manner.

Presently, when a civil trial is set before Judge Ishii, any criminal trial set which conflicts 

with the civil trial will take priority, even if the civil trial was set first. Continuances of civil trials 

under these circumstances may no longer be entertained, absent a specific and stated finding of 

good cause, but the civil trial may instead trail from day to day or week to week until the 

completion of either the criminal case or the older civil case.

The parties are advised that they are free to withhold consent or decline magistrate 

jurisdiction without adverse substantive consequences.

IV. Discovery Plan

As this action will be decided on the administrative record, the parties will not be 

conducting discovery.

V. Dispositive Pre-Trial Motions

This case will be decided on cross motions for judgment on the pleadings. The Court sets

the following briefing schedule with oral argument to be heard before Judge Anthony W. Ishii.

Plaintiff’s motion for judgment on the pleadings shall be filed by August 17, 2015. 

Defendant’s opposition and cross motion for judgment on the pleadings shall be filed by 

September 17, 2015. Plaintiff’s opposition and reply shall be filed by October 8, 2015. 

Defendant’s reply shall be filed by October 29, 2015. The parties shall set a hearing on the 

 

1

Except those proceedings delegated to the United States magistrate judges by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and the district 

judges by the Local Rules for the Eastern District of California.

motion before District Judge Anthony W. Ishii.

VI. Compliance with Federal Procedure

All counsel are expected to familiarize themselves with the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure and the Local Rules of the Eastern District of California, and to keep abreast of any 

amendments thereto. The Court must insist upon compliance with these Rules if it is to 

efficiently handle its increasing case load and sanctions will be imposed for failure to follow the 

Rules as provided in both the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules for the 

Eastern District of California.

Additional requirements and more detailed procedures for courtroom practice before 

United States Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone can be found at the United States District Court 

for the Eastern District of California’s website (http://www.caed.uscourts.gov) under Judges; 

United States Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone (SAB). In the area entitled “Case Management 

Procedures,” there is a link to “Standard Information.” All parties and counsel shall comply with 

the guidelines set forth therein.

XIV. Effect of this Order

The foregoing order represents the best estimate of the court and counsel as to the agenda 

most suitable to dispose of this case. If the parties determine at any time that the schedule 

outlined in this order cannot be met, counsel are ordered to notify the court immediately of that 

fact so that adjustments may be made, either by stipulation or by subsequent status conference.

Stipulations extending the deadlines contained herein will not be considered unless 

they are accompanied by affidavits or declarations, and where appropriate attached 

exhibits, which establish good cause for granting the relief requested. The parties are 

advised that due to the impacted nature of civil cases on the district judges in the Eastern 

District of California, Fresno Division, that stipulations to continue set dates are disfavored 

and will not be granted absent good cause. 

Lastly, should counsel or a party appearing pro se fail to comply with the directions
