United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JESUS ESPINOSA,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANDREW SAUL,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-04633-JD 

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

INFORM COURT WHETHER HE

CONSENTS TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE

FOR ALL PURPOSES

In cases assigned to a district judge, the parties may consent at any time to reassignment of 

the case to a magistrate judge for all purposes, including entry of final judgment. See Civil L.R. 

73-1(b). This option is being made available because the magistrate judges in this district have 

smaller civil dockets and no felony criminal cases and may be able to adjudicate this case more 

expeditiously than the undersigned district judge.

Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby directed to advise the court, no later than September 19, 

2019, whether he consents to have a magistrate judge conduct all further proceedings in the instant 

action. Normally the parties would be directed to so inform the court in their Joint Case 

Management Statement filed in connection with the initial case management conference. 

However, because this case involves a review of an administrative record, a case management 

conference has not been scheduled. The parties are advised that they may jointly request 

assignment to a specific magistrate judge. For the parties’ convenience, a consent form is attached 

hereto; forms are also available at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov, in the “Forms” section.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 5, 2019
