COMMISSIONER OF THE SOCIAL
SECURITY ADMINISTRATION,

ORDER

Defendant.
RONNIE ABRAMS, United States District Judge:
To conserve resources, to promote judicial efficiency, and in an effort to achieve a faster
disposition of this matter, it is hereby ORDERED that the parties must discuss whether they are
willing to consent, under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), to conducting all further proceedings before
Magistrate Judge Cott.
If both parties consent to proceed before Judge Cott, counsel for the defendant must,
within two weeks of the date of this Order, submit to the Orders & Judgments Clerk at
[e-mail] a fully executed Notice, Consent, and Reference of a Civil Action
to a Magistrate Judge form, a copy of which is available at
https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/ao085.pdf. If the Court approves that form, all
further proceedings will then be conducted before Judge Cott rather than before me. Any appeal
would be taken directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, as it would
be from this Court if the consent form were not signed and so ordered. An information sheet on
proceedings before magistrate judges is also attached to this Order.
If either party does not consent to conducting all further proceedings before Judge Cott,

the parties must file a joint letter, within two weeks of this Order, advising the Court that the
parties do not consent, but without disclosing the identity of the party or parties who do not
consent. At that time, the Court will then refer this case to Judge Cott for a report and
recommendation on any motion for judgment on the pleadings. The parties are free to withhold
consent to conducting all further proceedings before Judge Cott without negative consequences.
SO ORDERED.
