3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““In this case, the district court’s order specifically states that the hearing before the magistrate would be advisory and that its purpose was to ‘further define and focus the issues on appeal’. The district court explicitly reserved for itself the final decision on appeal. The district court, therefore, properly availed itself of the magistrate’s assistance to hasten its handling of this case. By reserving for itself the final decision of thé appeal, it avoided the error of the district court in Elcona Homes.””
