HOWARD DIXON, Plaintiff, v. SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT, Defendant.


SECOND ORDER TO CONSENT/DECLINE

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's in forma pauperis application. On October 31, 2011, the Court ordered Plaintiff to consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction or request reassignment to a United States District Judge for trial by November 15, 2011. Dkt. No. 4. Plaintiff has failed to respond.

This civil case was randomly assigned to the undersigned magistrate judge for all purposes including trial. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the magistrate judges of this district court are designated to conduct any and all proceedings in a civil case, including trial and entry of final judgment, upon the consent of the parties. An appeal from a judgment entered by a magistrate judge may be taken directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the same manner as an appeal from any other judgment of a district court.

You have the right to have your case assigned to a United States District Judge for trial and disposition. Accordingly, Plaintiff shall inform the Court, by way of the enclosed form, whether he consents to magistrate judge jurisdiction or requests reassignment to a United States District Judge for trial. The consent/declination form shall be filed by November 28, 2011. As this is the second such order, Plaintiff should be mindful that sanctions may be imposed for failure to comply, including and up to dismissal of this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
