ORDER. 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 assigned Magistrate Judge.

In addition, to conserve resources, to promote judicial efficiency, and in an effort to achieve a

Magistrate Judge. If all parties so consent, counsel shall file on ECF a fully executed Notice, Consent,
and Reference of a Civil Action to a Magistrate Judge form, available at https://www.nysd.uscourts.
