Opinion
20 Civ. 10643 (AT)(JW)
06-03-2022
RAMON ABREU, Plaintiff, v. TORTI FOOD, CORP, d/b/a MIRADOR RESTAURANT, ABC CORP. 1-3 d/b/a MIRADOR RESTAURANT, DEMETRIA CHAPMAN and JOSE PEREZ, Defendants.
ORDER
ANALISA TORRES, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The parties are reminded that they may consent to proceed before the Honorable Jennifer Willis, who would then oversee the approval of the settlement. If the parties consent to Judge Willis' jurisdiction, by June 17, 2022, they shall file a fully executed Notice, Consent, and Reference of a Civil Action to a Magistrate Judge form, available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/node/754 on the docket. The parties are free to withhold consent without negative consequences.
If the Court approves that form, all further proceedings will then be conducted before Judge Willis rather than before the undersigned. An information sheet on proceedings before magistrate judges is also attached to this order. Any appeal would be taken directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Cir cuit, as it would be if the consent form were not signed and so ordered.
SO ORDERED.
