    This document notifies parties in the case of Harris et al. v. McDonnell et al. of their right to consent to have the case heard by a U.S. magistrate judge. It explains that with consent from all parties, the magistrate judge can exercise the court's jurisdiction and conduct proceedings including a jury or nonjury trial and enter a final judgment. However, consent is voluntary and withholding consent will not have adverse consequences, though it prevents the magistrate judge from handling the case. An appeal of a magistrate judge's decision can be made directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals. The parties are given 15 days to return a signed form if they consent.

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Harrisonburg Division

    NOTICE TO PARTIES OF RIGHT TO CONSENT TO JURISDICTION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE


    JOANNE HARRIS, et al., Plaintiff(s) vs. Robert F. McDonnell, et al., Defendant(s) In accordance with the provisions of Title 28, U.S.C. Sec. 636(c), and Fed.R.Civ.P. 73, you are hereby notified that a United States Magistrate Judge of this district court is available to exercise the court's jurisdiction and to conduct any or all proceedings in this case including a jury or nonjury trial, and entry of a final judgment. Exercise of this jurisdiction by a magistrate judge is, however, permitted only if all parties voluntarily consent. You may, without adverse substantive consequences, withhold your consent, but this will prevent the court's jurisdiction from being exercised by a magistrate judge. If any party withholds consent, the identity of the parties consenting or withholding consent will not be communicated to any magistrate judge or to the district judge to whom the case has been assigned. An appeal from a judgment entered by a magistrate judge may be taken directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in the same manner as an appeal from any other judgment of a district court.
