received from the Court. (Doc. 54.) Plaintiff asserts that he received an envelope with two pages
24
enclosed. One page contained Plaintiff’s name, address, and case number, and the other page was
25
a Notice of Electronic Filing. Plaintiff questions whether the Court intended to enclose a form for
26
him to indicate whether he consents to or declines Magistrate Judge jurisdiction.

to the action. The Court did not intend to send Plaintiff a form for consent to Magistrate Judge
