necessary. Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). There is no
evidence in the record that Jones consented to proceed before the magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1) or that the district court ever considered
the magistrate judge’s order denying Jones’s emergency application for habeas
relief. Consequently, we DISMISS this appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
See Gregg v. Linder, 349 F.3d 860, 862 (5th Cir. 2003).
