 Plaintiff was not represented when the order was issued, but retained counsel prior to responding to the 1

order. Further, a different Deputy Attorney General substituted in on September 9, 2008. The Court will presume

that this change in representation caused an inadvertent failure by Defendant to respond to the Court’s order.

On August 25, 2008, the parties were ordered to notify this Court within thirty days whether

they consent to or decline Magistrate Judge jurisdiction. (Doc. 69.) Defendant has not complied

all filings must be made through his attorney.

Plaintiff and Defendant have fifteen (15) days from the date of service of this order within

which to comply with the Court’s order of August 25, 2008. The failure to do so may result in the

imposition of sanctions deemed appropriate by this Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
