IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER LEE OUTLEY, No. CIV S-06-2271-MCE-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

GLENN N. JAMES,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The parties are informed that they may, if all consent in writing, have this

case assigned to a United States Magistrate Judge for all purposes while preserving their right to

appeal any final judgment directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit or,

where appropriate, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. See 28 U.S.C. 

§ 636(c)(1), (3); see also E.D. Cal. Local Rule 73-305(a), (c). The parties are advised that they

are free to withhold consent and that doing so shall not result in any adverse substantive

consequences. See § 636(c)(2). If all parties consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction, the action

will be reassigned to the undersigned for all purposes, including entry of final judgment. See

Local Rule 73-301 and Local Rule 73-305(b).

A review of the record reflects that plaintiff has consented in writing to the

exercise of full jurisdiction by a magistrate judge. (see Doc. 5). The record does not reflect any

election regarding consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction by defendant(s). The Clerk of the

Court will be directed to provide defendant(s) with the appropriate form which defendant(s) shall

then complete, indicating either consent or non-consent as defendant(s) may choose, and file with

the court. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to forward to defendant(s) the court’s

“Notice of Availability of a Magistrate Judge to Exercise Jurisdiction and Appeal Instructions”

along with the accompanying consent election form; and

2. Defendant(s) shall complete and file the consent election form within 30

days of the date of this order. 

DATED: May 6, 2008
