ORDER

GREGORY H. WOODS, United States District Judge:
On December 4, 2023, the Court directed the parties to confer as to whether they consent to
proceeding before the assigned Magistrate Judge, and to submit either an executed consent form or
a joint letter no later than December 18, 2023. Dkt. No. 14. Neither document was submitted.
On December 23, 2023, the Court directed the parties to comply with the Court’s December
4 order forthwith, and in no event later than January 5, 2024. Dkt. No. 15. At Plaintiff’s request,
the Court subsequently extended the deadline to January 26, 2024 and specifically ordered the
parties to submit a status letter on Defendant Shree Deshmukh’s status in this matter and, if
Deshmukh is dismissed from this action, whether the remaining parties consent to proceeding
before the assigned Magistrate Judge. Dkt. No. 19.
On January 26, 2024, Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a notice of voluntary dismissal
against Deshmukh, which the Court noted was improperly filed, as Plaintiff does not require the
Court’s leave to file a notice of voluntary dismissal. Dkt. Nos. 20, 21. Plaintiff has yet to voluntarily
dismiss Deshmukh from this action, and the parties have not submitted a status letter or the
submission required in the Court’s December 4, 2023 order.

Accordingly, the parties are directed to comply with the Court’s December 4, 2023 order
forthwith, and in no event later than February 9, 2024.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: February 6, 2024
New York, New York
