Defendant.
KATHERINE POLK FAILLA, United States District Judge:
By Order today, the Court is referring this case to Magistrate Judge
Aaron for a report and recommendation on any motion for judgment on the
pleadings. 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 the Magistrate Judge, counsel
for Defendant must, within two weeks of the date of this Order, email to
[e-mail] a fully executed Notice, Consent,
and Reference of a Civil Action to a Magistrate Judge form, a copy of which is
attached to this Order (and also available at
http://nysd.uscourts.gov/file/forms/consent-to-proceed-before-us-magistratejudge). If the Court approves that form, all further proceedings will then be
conducted before Magistrate Judge Cott rather than before the undersigned.
If either party does not consent to conducting all further proceedings
before Magistrate Judge Cott, the parties must file a joint letter, within two

weeks of the date 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. There will be no adverse consequences if the parties do not
