No. C 10-1292 MEJ

ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANT

TO FILE CONSENT/DECLINATION

FORM

 Pending before the Court is Defendant Bestford USA, Inc.’s counsel’s pro hac vice

applications. Upon review of the record in this action, the Court notes that Defendant 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, Defendant Bestford USA, Inc. 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

June 3, 2010.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
