United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARRIE MURPHY,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-03784-YGR 

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO INFORM 

COURT REGARDING CONSENT TO 

MAGISTRATE JUDGE FOR ALL PURPOSES

In cases initially assigned to a district judge, the parties may consent at any time to 

reassignment of the case to a magistrate judge 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 more expeditiously than the undersigned district judge. Defendant has already filed its 

consent or declination to magistrate judge jurisdiction. (Dkt. No. 7.)

Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby DIRECTED to advise the Court, no later than January 23, 

2015, whether he consents to have a magistrate judge conduct all further proceedings in the instant 

action. Normally the parties would be directed to so inform the court in their Joint Case 

Management Statement filed in connection with the initial case management conference. 

However, because this case involves a review of an administrative record, a case management 

conference has not been scheduled. For the parties’ convenience, a consent form is attached 

hereto; forms are also available at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov, in the “Forms” section. The 

parties are further advised that they may jointly request assignment to a specific magistrate judge.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 7, 2015
