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 March 22, 2006, petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in the Central District

of California, and the case was transferred and received in our Court on April 5, 2006. On or about

April 6, 2006, 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 28, 2006,

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.
