22 22 order Minute Order Thu 06/26 2:02 PM
MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 6/26/2025: The Eastern District of California's overwhelming caseload has been well publicized, and the long-standing lack of adequate judicial resources in this district long ago reached crisis proportions. This crisis continues to have serious implications for this court and litigants appearing before it. A review of the docket in this action reflects that none of the parties have filed a completed [3 -2 ] Consent / Decline of U.S. Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction form. Accordingly, the court urges the parties to file completed [3 -2 ] forms as soon as possible. When completing the form, please specify which party or parties are completing the form. "Our Magistrate Judges play a critical role in providing essential access to justice, particularly in our overburdened court." ( See "Magistrate Judge Consent in Civil Cases: Know Your Rights!", available on the court's website.) Indeed, "[c]onsenting to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction in civil cases may represent one of the best ways to secure 'just, speedy, and inexpensive determination' of your case, which is why we want to be sure you are fully aware of your right and ability to consent." ( Id .) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 1). (Deputy Clerk PAB)
