CASE TRANSFER NOTICE AND NOTICE RE: CONSENT TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE JURISDICTION. This case has been selected for automatic transfer to another district judge (DJ) in 14 days. The parties may elect to consent to the jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge (USMJ). United States Magistrate Judges do not conduct felony criminal trials; as a result, parties are often able to schedule a civil jury trial before a USMJ sooner and with more flexibility than a jury trial before a DJ. If all parties consent to the jurisdiction of a USMJ, the parties shall complete and jointly file the consent form found at https://www.uscourts.gov/forms/civil-forms/notice-consent-and-reference-civil-action-magistrate-judge. 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 USMJ, any USMJ previously involved in confidential settlement discussions would not be assigned to hear the trial. If no consent form is filed within 14 days, this matter will be automatically reassigned to another district judge. Signed by Clerk on 9/5/2023. (Barry, L) (Entered: 09/05/2023)
