EVELYN R. BENNETT,

Plaintiff,

vs.

KAISER PERMANENTE,

Defendants.

Case No.: C-14-2676 YGR

TENTATIVE CASE MANAGEMENT AND

PRETRIAL ORDER

TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:

The Court has read and reviewed the docket in this matter in advance of the Case 

Management Conference scheduled for February 9, 2015 and tentatively sets the following trial and 

pretrial dates. 

The parties are advised that in cases assigned to a district judge, the parties may consent at 

any time to reassignment of the case to a magistrate judge of their joint selection for all purposes, 

including entry of final judgment. See Civil L.R. 73-1(b). This option is being made available 

because the magistrate judges in this district have smaller civil dockets and no felony criminal cases 

and may be able to adjudicate this case with more flexibility than the undersigned district judge. 

The parties are hereby DIRECTED to advise the Court, no later than 10:00 a.m. on Monday, 

February 9, 2015, whether they (i) submit to the tentative trial and pretrial order in which case no 

appearance will be necessary and the order will issue automatically; (ii) consent to have a magistrate 

judge of their choice conduct all further proceedings in the instant action in which case no 

appearance will be necessary and the reassignment order will issue automatically; or (iii) will 

personally appear for the case management conference. Should the parties choose to consent to a 

magistrate judge, forms are available at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov, in the “Forms” section.
