ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO FILE

Pending before the Court is Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, filed October 24, 2006. Upon

review of the record in this action, the Court notes that the parties have not filed written consents to

Magistrate Judge James' jurisdiction or requests for reassignment to a United States District Court

judge for trial. This civil case was randomly assigned to United States Magistrate Judge MariaElena James for all purposes including trial. In accordance with Title 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 a jury or non-jury trial, and to order the 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.
