Pending before the Court is parties' joint stipulation for judgment, filed August 18, 2005. Upon

review of the record in this action, the Court notes that parties have not filed a written consent to Magistrate

Judge James' jurisdiction or request 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.
