RE: CONSENT TO PROCEED BEFORE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE No.: 290
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b) , and to preserve the confidentiality and
voluntariness of their decisions, parties' filings of consent to jurisdiction by United States
Magistrate Judges are treated as non-public documents until all parties have consented.
Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that any partial consent which is e-filed will be immediately stricken
from the record and held in confidence by the Clerk's office until all parties have consented.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any partial consent received in paper form will not
be filed in the record but will be held in confidence by the Clerk's office until all parties have
consented.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if all parties consent to the jurisdiction of the
Magistrate Judge, the Clerk will scan all consent forms previously received, whether by e-
1
filing or conventionally, which will then be filed into the record as public documents.
Entered this 1~ day of December, 2009.
BY THE COURT:
