Re: Davis v. RiverSource Life Insurance Company 

16-cv-02801-JCS

Dear Counsel: 

This matter has been randomly assigned to United States Chief Magistrate Judge Joseph C. 

Spero for all purposes including trial.

The magistrate judges of this district have been designated to conduct any and all proceedings 

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

consent of all parties.

A review of our records discloses that the Consent or Declination to Magistrate Judge

Jurisdiction has not been filed in this case. All parties are requested to complete the attached form

documenting either consent or declination and e-file it with the Court by July 7, 2016. This form can 

be found on the Court’s website at www.cand.uscourts.gov. Please note that any party is free to 

withhold consent to proceed before a magistrate judge without adverse substantive consequences. 

Susan Y. Soong

Clerk, United States District Court
