No. C 10-00985 MEJ

ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANT

TO FILE CONSENT/DECLINATION

FORM

 Pending before the Court is Defendant JPMorgan Chase Bank's counsel's pro hac vice

applications. Upon review of the record in this action, the Court notes that JPMorgan has not filed a

written consent to Magistrate Judge James' jurisdiction. This civil case was randomly assigned to

Magistrate Judge James for all purposes including trial. In accordance with 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 trial and 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

disposition. Accordingly, JPMorgan shall inform the Court whether it consents to Magistrate Judge

James’ jurisdiction or requests reassignment to a United States District Judge for trial. A copy of

both the consent and declination forms may be obtained from the Northern District of California's

website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/. From the homepage, click on the "Forms" tab on the left

margin, then choose "Civil." The consent/declination form shall be filed by August 16, 2010.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 2, 2010 _______________________________
