Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 636(c), Civil Local Rule 73, and General Order 04-00016, full-time U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael J. Bordallo is designated to handle all non-dispositive actions in this civil case. Parties may consent to have Judge Bordallo conduct all proceedings, including trials and post-judgment proceedings, or enter a final order on dispositive motions. To do so, all parties must complete a joint consent form (AO85 or AO85A), available on the court’s website: [District Court of Guam Forms](https://www.gud.uscourts.gov/forms/all-forms/civil_form).

This notice must be served with the summons or waiver of service. Your decision to consent or not to consent is voluntary and should be communicated to the Clerk of Court. **DO NOT E-FILE THE CONSENT FORMS.** Instead, mail or hand-deliver the original forms to U.S. District Court, 520 West Soledad Avenue, 4th Floor, Hagatna, Guam 96910.

The consent forms must be signed by all parties or their counsel. It is requested that parties submit them at least **14 days prior to the first scheduled conference** and no later than **30 days before the final pretrial conference**. If consent is not submitted by then, a District Judge must approve it. The plaintiff (or the defendant if the plaintiff is pro se) is responsible for obtaining and filing the necessary consent forms.
