ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANT

TO FILE CONSENT/DECLINATION

FORM

On July 2, 2010, Plaintiff moved to remand this case to state court. ECF No. 3. The Court

rescheduled hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion to September 2, 2010 and ordered both Plaintiff and

Defendant to file consent or declination forms to this Court’s jurisdiction by July 20, 2010. ECF

Nos. 4, 5. Plaintiff consented to this Court’s jurisdiction on July 8, 2010. ECF No. 6. Defendant,

however, has failed to file her consent or declination forms by July 20, 2010.

This civil case was randomly assigned to United States Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler for all

purposes including trial. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), magistrate judges 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 Judge Beeler 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. 

Defendant has not filed a written consent to Judge Beeler's jurisdiction. Defendant also has the

A declaration is a statement of facts. The person making the declaration must know those

facts personally, and they must be facts that can be admitted into evidence. That means that they

must be facts as opposed to conclusions, argument, opinion, or hearsay. A declaration must be made

under penalty of perjury, which means that the person making the declaration must sign it and date

the declaration after the following statement: “I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing

is true and correct. Dated ________. Signed _______________.”

ORDER 

C 10-02561

right to have the case assigned to a United States District Judge for trial and disposition. 

Accordingly, Defendant shall inform the Court whether she consents to Judge Beeler's jurisdiction

or requests reassignment to a United States District Judge. The consent/declination form SHALL

BE FILED by July 30, 2010. If you do not consent to this Court's jurisdiction by July 30, 2010, this

case will be reassigned to a district court judge.

Because you are representing yourself in this case, the Court issues this notice to you about legal

resources available to you and some of the legal rules that may apply in your case, including the

standards governing motions to remand.

First, the Court attaches a copy of the district court's Handbook for Litigants Without a Lawyer. 

It provides instructions on how to proceed at every stage of your case, including discovery, motions,

and trial.

Second, you may wish to seek assistance from the Legal Help Center, a free service of the

Volunteer Legal Services Program, by calling 415-782-9000, extension 8657, or by signing up for

an appointment on the15th Floor of the Federal Courthouse in San Francisco, 450 Golden Gate

Avenue, San Francisco, California. At the Legal Help Center, you will be able to speak with an

attorney who may be able to provide basic legal help but not representation. A copy of the Legal

Help Center's flyer is attached.

Third, the following is a notice that this Court gives to litigants representing themselves when a

defendant files a motion to remand:

Defendant filed a motion to remand your case to state court. The motion -- if granted -- will

result in the dismissal of your case. When a party you are suing makes a motion to remand your

case, and that motion is properly supported by declarations1

 (or other sworn testimony) and/or

documents, you may not simply rely on what your complaint says. Instead, you must set out specific

facts in declarations, depositions, answers to interrogatories, or documents that contradict the facts

If you do not submit your own evidence in opposition, the Court might -- if it is appropriate legally -

- grant Defendant's motion and dismiss the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
