Idaho Consents to Proceed Before Magistrate Judge Mid is a document that parties in a civil case may sign if they agree to waive their rights to have the case heard by a district judge and instead have the case heard by a U.S. Magistrate Judge. The document is signed by the parties and their attorneys and must be filed with the U.S. District Court. There are two types of Idaho Consents to Proceed Before Magistrate Judge Mid: voluntary and involuntary. The voluntary consent is signed by the parties and their attorneys and filed with the court. The involuntary consent is filed by the court after the parties agree to have the case heard by a magistrate judge. In either case, the consent allows the parties to have their case heard by a magistrate judge and allows the magistrate judge to issue rulings and orders in the case.
