dated August 15, 2014, directing Respondent to file within sixty 

days an answer or dispositive motion in response to the petition 

(doc. 9). Respondent instead filed a motion to transfer the 

petition, which resulted in the transfer of the petition to this 

Court. 

I. Order regarding Consent or Decline Form

 Although Respondent has been ordered to respond to the 

petition and has filed a motion in this proceeding, the docket 

does not reflect Respondent’s choice regarding consent to 

Magistrate Judge jurisdiction. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that no later than 

twenty-one (21) days after the date of service of this order, 

Respondent shall COMPLETE, SIGN, and RETURN the consent or

decline portion of the Court’s order re: consent or request for 

reassignment. The Clerk is DIRECTED to send to Respondent with 

this order an order re: consent or request for reassignment.

II. Order Suspending Respondent’s Obligation to Respond to

 the Petition

 

This Court has not had an opportunity to screen the 

petition. After the parties have complied with the pending 

orders regarding consenting or declining to Magistrate Judge 

jurisdiction, the Court will proceed to screen the petition. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Respondent’s 

obligation to respond to the petition is SUSPENDED pending 

further order of the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
