Washington v. Saul

Filing 7

ORDER: In a separate Order, this case has been refened to one of the Court's Magistrate Judges for a Report and Recommendation. Magistrate Judges are judges selected by the District Judges to serve for terms of eight years. Magistrate Judges are highly qualified and very experienced. You have an option to agree to having the Magistrate Judge to whom your case has been refened-Magistrate Judge Cott-decide your case instead of recommending a decision to the District Court Judge, who would then review the Report and Recommendation and address any objections to it. (as further set forth herein). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 10/14/2020) (kv)
