Defendant(s). /

No. C 07-3028 MEJ

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO

FILE CONSENT/DECLINATION FORM

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's counsel's motion to appear pro hac vice, filed June 12,

2007. Upon review of the record in this action, the Court notes that Plaintiff has not filed a written

consent to Magistrate Judge James' jurisdiction or request for reassignment to a United States

District Court judge for trial. This civil case was randomly assigned to United States Magistrate

Judge Maria-Elena James for all purposes including trial. In accordance with Title 28, U.S.C. §

636(c), the magistrate judges of this District Court are designated to conduct any and all proceedings

in a civil case, including a jury or non-jury trial, and to order the entry of final judgment, upon the

consent of the parties. An appeal from a judgment entered by Magistrate Judge James may be taken

directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the same manner as an appeal

from any other judgment of a district court.

You have the right to have your case assigned to a United States District Judge for trial and
