ORDER REQUIRING PETITIONER TO

SUBMIT A NEW CONSENT/DECLINE

FORM AS TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE

JURISDICTION 

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

U.S.C. § 2254. 

On July 29, 2005, petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus and 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. The form instructs the parties

to "Check and Sign ONLY ONE Section of the Form," indicating a choice between "consent" or

"decline" as to jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge. On April 20, 2007, petitioner returned the

consent/decline form to the court; however, petitioner signed BOTH sections of the form. At this

time, the court shall require petitioner to complete a new consent/decline form and return it to the

court.

Accordingly, petitioner is ORDERED to submit a new consent/decline form, telling the Court

whether he will consent to Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction. Petitioner must complete and return the

new consent/decline form within thirty (30) days, signing ONLY ONE section of the form, indicating

a choice between "consent" and "decline." Failure to follow this order will result in a

recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant to Local Rule 11-110.

The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to send to petitioner another copy of the

consent/decline form and the instructions for consent to Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
