IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
MICROSOFT CORPORATION,
Plaintiff(s),
vs.
LEONARD G. SOFSKY, et al.,
Defendant(s).
/
No. C 06-6710 MEJ
ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO
FILE CONSENT/DECLINATION FORM
Pending before the Court are two pro hac vice motions from plaintiff Microsoft
Corporation's counsel. Upon review of the record in this action, the Court notes that Microsoft has
not filed a written consent to Magistrate Judge James' jurisdiction or request for reassignment to a
United States District Court judge for trial. This civil case was randomly assigned to United States
Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James for all purposes including trial. In accordance with Title 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 a jury or non-jury trial, and to order the entry of final
judgment, upon the consent of the parties. An appeal from a judgment entered by Magistrate Judge
James 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
