No. C 05-5299 MEJ

ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO FILE

CONSENT/DECLINATION FORM

Pending before the Court is Defendants' Motion to Dismiss, filed on December 27, 2005. 

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 Maria-Elena 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.
