Nevada Notice, Consent, and Reference of a Civil Action to a Magistrate Judge is a process that allows civil cases to be referred from the district court to a magistrate judge for all purposes. This process is allowed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) and N.R.S. Sec. 1.470. There are two types of Nevada Notice, Consent, and Reference of a Civil Action to a Magistrate Judge. The first type is an initial referral, in which the district court refers the case to the magistrate judge upon filing. This type of referral must be done in writing and must contain the consent of all the parties. The second type is a voluntary referral, in which the parties agree to refer the case to the magistrate judge after the case has been filed. This type of referral is made in writing and must be approved by the district court. In both types of referrals, the parties must provide notice to each other of the referral and their consent to it. The notice must include a copy of the applicable rule and the court’s order referring the case to the magistrate judge. The consent must also be given in writing and must be signed by all parties. The consent must also include a statement that the parties understand that the case will be decided by the magistrate judge and that the district court will have final authority to review the magistrate judge’s decision. Once the notice and consent are provided, the district court will issue an order that references the case to the magistrate judge. This order must also include a statement that the parties have consented to the reference of the case to the magistrate judge. Once the reference order is issued, the magistrate judge will have the authority to hear the case, make findings of fact and conclusions of law, and enter a final judgment. The district court will review the magistrate judge’s decision, but will be limited to determining whether the magistrate judge correctly applied the law. The district court will not re-hear the case or review the magistrate judge’s findings of fact.
