Date Filed Document Text
July 15, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 17 ORDER: The Court reminds the parties that they may consent to proceed before a United States Magistrate Judge. 28 U.S.C.A. 636(c). The Social Security Administration has consented to have all social security cases brought before a Magistrate Judge. This procedure could prove to be more expeditious, and therefore, less expensive, than a trial before a District Judge. The Plaintiff is, of course, also free "to withhold consent without adverse substantive consequences." Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b)(2). The Plaintiff is advised, however, that the increase in the Court's criminal docket may impede a reasonably timely disposition of this case. Hence, The Court hereby orders the Plaintiff to affirmatively state whether or not he consents to having the instant matter be entertained before a U.S. Magistrate Judge through the entry of judgment and his rationale underlying his decision on or before August 15, 2022. Failure to respond to this Order will be treated as an implied consent by the Plaintiff. The Court notes that the Magistrate Judges in the District of Puerto Rico are first-rate jurists with impeccable legal minds, integrity and judicial temperament. The Plaintiff should thus carefully consider the merits of consenting to proceed before a Magistrate Judge. Signed by Judge Raul M. Arias-Marxuach on 7/15/2022. (mrr)
