Declination of Consent Form
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California
Text
If a party submits a timely Declination of Consent Form, the case will be randomly assigned to a District Judge to preside over the case for all purposes and randomly assigned to a new Magistrate Judge to preside over discovery. However, if a party fails to submit a Declination of Consent Form within the specified time, it will be deemed as the party’s consent to proceed for all purposes before the assigned Magistrate Judge.
