JENNIFER L. ROCHON, United States District Judge: On January 17, 2023, this Court was notified that mediation in this action — brought pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq. — was successful and the parties reached agreement on all issues. ECF No. 35. By separate Order today, the Court is referring this case to the designated Magistrate Judge for purposes of reviewing and deciding whether to approve the settlement. In addition, 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 the Magistrate Judge. If both parties consent to proceed before the Magistrate Judge, they must, by February 1, 2023, file on the docket 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 https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/node/754). If the Court approves that form, all further proceedings will then be conducted before the Magistrate Judge rather than before the undersigned. 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 Case 1:22-cv-03358-JLR-RWL Document 37 Filed 01/18/23 Page 2 of 2 not signed and so ordered. An information sheet on proceedings before magistrate judges is also attached to this Order.

There will be no adverse consequences if the parties do not consent to proceed before the Magistrate Judge. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all other deadlines and conferences in this case are adjourned. Dated: January 18, 2023 New York, New York SO ORDERED. JENNIFER L. ROCHON United States District Judge
