Also definitely NOT a legal guru in any way, but as it reads, it seems to me that both parties have consented as stated at the bottom of the order and this will allow the magistrate assigned to "conduct any or all proceedings in this case including a jury or nonjury trial".
My question would be, who decides whether or not the case goes to a jury or non jury trial or if the magistrate simply makes a ruling on his own based on information already gathered?
When would this decision be made?
Again, just my take after reading the court order.
