ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO ADVISE COURT WHETHER HE WILL CONSENT TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE

JEFFREY S. WHITE, District Judge.

In cases initially assigned to a district judge, the parties may consent at any time to reassignment of the case to a magistrate judge for all purposes, including entry of final judgment. See Civil L.R. 73-1(b). Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED to advise the Court, no later than December 29, 2014, as to whether he consents to have a magistrate judge conduct all further proceedings in the instant action.1 Defendant has already consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge. (See Docket No. 8.) The parties are further advised that they may jointly request assignment to a specific magistrate judge

IT IS SO ORDERED.

FootNotes


1. Normally, the Court would direct the parties to so inform the Court in their joint case management statement filed in connection with a case management conference. Because the instant action involves a review of an administrative record, however, a case management conference has not been scheduled.
