UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

URANNA LONGWORTH 

GREENE, 

Plaintiff,

v. 

NANCY A BERRYHILL, Acting 

Commisisoner of Social Security, 

Defendant.

Case No.: 18cv2117-LAB (BGS) 

ORDER PERMITTING 

DEFENDANT TO WITHDRAW 

CONSENT 

 This matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Bernard Skomal for report and 

recommendation. On June 13, Judge Skomal issued an order concerning consent 

to magistrate judge jurisdiction over the case. Among other things, the order 

directed Plaintiff to lodge consent forms at the Clerk’s office by July 1. The form, 

executed only by Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s counsel, was forwarded to the undersigned 

District Judge, and accepted for filing by discrepancy order. 

 The government has given its general consent to reference of social security 

appeals to magistrate judges. See General Order 707. The government may, 

however, withdraw its consent by the date the administrative record is filed. See 

id. Here, the administrative record was filed in this case on June 10, before Plaintiff 

had an opportunity to consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction.

 If the government wishes to withdraw its consent to magistrate judge 

jurisdiction, it may do so by July 11, 2019. If more time is needed to make the 

decision, the government should request it by ex parte motion, giving an estimate 

of the time required. If the government does not withdraw its consent within the 

time permitted, jurisdiction over the case will be transferred to Judge Skomal. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
