Filing 8 CONSENT/DECLINE of U.S. Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b)(1), this document is restricted to attorneys and court staff only. Judges do not have access to view this document and will be informed of a party's response only if all parties have consented to the referral. (Yao, Siyun) |
Filing 7 MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy L. Kennison for Carolyn K. Delaney on 9/1/2022: This case was filed on 5/25/2022 and assigned solely to the undersigned pursuant to Appendix A of the court's Local Rules. Under the Initial Scheduling Order, all parties were to inform the Clerk of Court of their decision whether to Consent or Decline magistrate judge jurisdiction for all purposes in this case by filing their Consent/Decline form (ECF No. 4.1) within 90 days of the date the action was filed, in this case by 8/23/2022. (ECF No. #4 at 2, para. 2.) A review of the docket indicates that no Consent/Decline forms have yet been submitted. There is no obligation to consent, and no judge will be notified of a party's decision unless all parties have consented. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b)(1). However, for proper case administration, each party must inform the Clerk of Court whether or not it consents to magistrate judge jurisdiction for all purposes. Therefore, no later than 09/16/2022, all parties SHALL file their Consent/Decline form. Further, the parties are reminded that defendant's Answer filed on 8/31/2022 (ECF No. #6 ) triggers the 30-day deadline for the parties to file a Joint Status Report addressing the subjects listed in Local Rule 240(a) to assist the court in setting a scheduling order for the case. (See ECF No. #4 , para. 3.) However, that deadline only applies if all parties consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction for all purposes under 28 U.S.C. 636(c). In the event that not all parties consent, this case would be randomly reassigned to a district judge as presiding judge, and that district judge would direct the case's scheduling.
