EXPLANATION OF ASSIGNMENT TO 

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

This civil case has been randomly assigned to a United States Magistrate Judge of this

court. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the Magistrate Judges of this court are

designated to conduct any and all proceedings in a jury or nonjury civil case and order the

entry of final judgment upon the consent of all parties to a case. Any appeal from a judgment

entered by a Magistrate Judge is taken directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the

Eleventh Circuit in the same manner as any appeal from any judgment entered in this court.

Any party to this lawsuit has the right to consent or decline consent to the jurisdiction

of a Magistrate Judge. To exercise your right to consent you should complete the consent

form and return it to the Clerk of the Court as indicated in the court’s order. Litigants,

without concern for any adverse consequences, freely may decline consent to the jurisdiction

of a Magistrate Judge. If you decline consent to the jurisdiction of a Magistrate Judge, this

case will be reassigned randomly to a District Judge.
