Consent/Declination to Proceed Before a US Magistrate Judge

The parties in this case were given the option to consent or decline to have their case heard by a U.S. Magistrate Judge instead of a District Judge. This event records whether the parties agreed to proceed before the Magistrate Judge. It matters because consent can speed up proceedings and reduce the District Judge's workload, while declination means the case stays with the District Judge.
