September 22, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER. The Oral Argument scheduled for September 27, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. is CANCELED. The Court will resolve plaintiff's #13 Motion to Remand on the written briefing. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 9/22/2022. (Katz, S.)
September 20, 2022 Filing 17 NOTICE. All parties are advised that they may elect to consent to the jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge. United States Magistrate Judges do not conduct felony criminal trials; as a result, parties are often able to schedule a jury trial before a Magistrate Judge sooner and with more flexibility than a jury trial before a District Judge. If all parties consent to the jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge, the parties should complete and file the attached consent form. If any party does not consent, that information should not be conveyed to the Court, and no consent form should be filed. The Court notes that ordinarily, where the parties consent to the jurisdiction of a Magistrate Judge, any Magistrate Judge who has previously been involved in confidential settlement discussions would not be assigned to hear the trial. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 9/20/2022.(Caffrey, A.)
