Dear Counsel:  
 
This matter has been randomly assigned to United States Magistrate Judge Kandis A.

The magistrate judges of this district have been designated to conduct any and all proceedings 
in a civil case including a jury or nonjury trial and to order the entry of a final judgment, upon the 
consent of all parties. 
 
A review of our records discloses that the Consent or Declination to Magistrate Judge 
Jurisdiction has not been filed in this case.  All parties shall complete the attached form documenting 
either consent or declination and e-file it with the Court by March 17, 2021.   This form can be found
