Upon review of the record in this action, the Court notes that Plaintiff has not filed a written consent

to Magistrate Judge James' jurisdiction or request 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.
