IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LATANYA N. SHARMA

Plaintiff(s),

 vs.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE,

Commissioner of Social Security

Defendant(s). /

No. C 07-4906 MEJ

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO

FILE CONSENT/DECLINATION FORM

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, filed

September 21, 2007. Upon review of the record in this action, the Court notes that Plaintiff has 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.
