ORDER REQUIRING PETITIONER TO

JURISDICTION 

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a habeas corpus action pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. 

On March 28, 2006, petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus at the United States

District Court for the Northern District of California. On April 13, 2006, the case was transferred to

the Eastern District of California, and it was received by the Fresno Division on April 21, 2006. On

April 26, 2006, the Clerk of the Court mailed a consent/decline form to petitioner, with information

and instructions for informing the Court whether he would consent to Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction. 

Petitioner has not returned the consent/decline form. At this time, the court shall require petitioner

to complete a consent/decline form and return it to the court.

Accordingly, petitioner is ORDERED to tell the Court whether he will consent to Magistrate

Judge Jurisdiction. Petitioner must complete and return the consent/decline form within thirty (30)

days. Failure to follow this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed
