Cruz v. O'Malley

Filing 4

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 Magistrate Judge. If both parties consent to proceed before the Magistrate Judge, counsel for the defendant must, within two weeks of the date on which Defendant enters an appearance, email to OetkenNYSDChambers@nysd.uscourts.gov a fully executed Notice, Consent, and Reference of a Civil Action of a Civil Action to a Magistrate Judge form, available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/2018-06/AO-3.pdf. If the court approves that form, all further proceedings will then be conducted before the Magistrate Judge rather than before me. If either party does not consent to conducting all further proceedings before the Magistrate Judge, the parties must file a joint letter, within two weeks on which Defendant enters an appearance, advising the Court that the parties do not consent, but without disclosing the identity of the party or parties who do not consent. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge J. Paul Oetken on 2/6/24) (yv)
