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.
