IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCO ANTHONY TALAMANTES, No. CIV S-09-3547-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

RANDY GROUNDS,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with retained counsel, brings this petition

for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

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 Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b)(1); E.D. Cal. Local Rule 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 301 and Local Rule 305(b). 

A review of the record reflects that all parties to this action have not filed a

written election regarding consent to the exercise of full jurisdiction by a Magistrate Judge. 

Specifically, while respondent has consented (see Doc. 10), petitioner has not made any election.

The Clerk of the Court will be directed to provide petitioner with the appropriate form which the

parties shall then complete, indicating either consent or non-consent as he may choose, and file

with the court. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to petitioner 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. Petitioner shall complete and file the consent election form within 30 days

of the date of this order. 

DATED: May 12, 2010
