November 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 21 CLERK'S NOTICE Re: Consent or Declination: Plaintiffs have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction #19 .

King, 875 F.3d 500, 503 (9th Cir. 2017). Given the time sensitivity of the motion, the court will allow two business days for all parties to file either a consent or declination form. Note that any party is free to withhold consent to proceed before a magistrate judge without adverse substantive consequences. The forms are available at: http://cand.uscourts.gov/civilforms. If all parties do not consent by 11/20/2023, the case will be randomly assigned to a District Judge of this court. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
