No. C09-5247 EMC

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO

SUBMIT NEW CONSENT OR

DECLINATION FORM 

On February 23, 2010, Plaintiff Steven J. Hays submitted to this Court a Conditional Consent

to Proceed Before a United States Magistrate Judge stating that "I am agreeing to this type of disposition

in this case provided I do not need to attend, as I am extremely indigent and cannot attend proceedings.

I also reserve my right appeal the decision of this magistrate judge." This order is to clarify that the

Court will take consideration of plaintiff's hardship in attending proceedings in person and will allow

plaintiff to appear by telephone from time to time. However, ths Court cannot promise Plaintiff that he

does not need to appear in person throughout the whole proceedings. In all likelihood, he will have to

attend some proceedings. In addition, if all parties consent, all parties shall have the same right to

appeal as they would were this case assigned to a District Judge. Plaintiff shall submit the attached

consent form if he agrees to the clarification stated above. Otherwise, he shall submit the declination

form on or before March 9, 2010. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
