WHEREAS, the docket indicates in a final report of the mediator on December 16, 2021 that a mediation in this case was held and the parties reached a settlement on all issues (Dkt. No. 38);
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties are directed to file a joint letter motion along with their settlement agreement no later than January 18, 2022, to request court approval.

The parties should submit their settlement papers to Judge Engelmayer, unless they agree to consent to my jurisdiction to review the settlement under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). Consent forms are available on the Court website.
SO ORDERED.
