Opinion
ORDER
KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.
The court's records show that plaintiff has not yet indicated whether or not he consents to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge for all purposes pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). Accordingly, within fourteen (14) days of this order, plaintiff shall file a brief statement indicating whether or not he consents to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge for all purposes, including the entry of final judgment, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). Importantly, plaintiff is under no obligation to so consent, but plaintiff's designation in that regard assists the court in determining how the case will be administratively processed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
