ANNOTATION
A magistrate may, without the consent of the parties, act upon an inmate's in forma pauperis request and dispose of the case in accordance with its ruling thereon. Therefore, it is appropriate for such action to be governed by C.R.M. 7(a), which sets out procedures for review of a magistrate's orders and judgments that have been entered without consent of the parties. Bryan v. Neet, 85 P.3d 556 (Colo. App. 2003).
