Appeal from the United States District Court 

for the Eastern District of Louisiana

USDC No. 2:10-CV-3223

Before SMITH, WIENER, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Floyd P. Donley, Sr., appeals from the magistrate judge’s denial of his 

motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. We have jurisdiction because both 

parties consented to proceed before the magistrate judge. 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(3). 

* Pursuant to Fifth Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Fifth 

Cir. R. 47.5.4.

Case: 14-30899 Document: 00512940701 Page: 1 Date Filed: 02/19/2015
No. 14-30899

Donley originally brought suit against Hudsons Salvage and both parties 

signed a consent form permitting final resolution of the case by a magistrate 

judge. § 636 (c)(3). The magistrate judge granted summary judgment in favor 

of the defendants, Donley appealed, and we affirmed. The Supreme Court then 

denied certiorari. 

Donley argues that he never consented to have the particular magistrate 

judge who heard his case and that this magistrate judge lacked “personal 

jurisdiction.” In addition to the numerous problems with the merits of this 

argument, this case was fully resolved, appealed, and certiorari was denied. 

Donley’s argument is moot and for that reason the judgment of the magistrate 

judge is AFFIRMED.
