SHERI POLSTER CHAPPEL UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court on sua sponte review of the file. This is a class-action lawsuit for violations of the Fair Credit and Reporting Act. The parties have reached a preliminary settlement agreement and are seeking approval from the Court. (Doc. 28). The Motion for approval is pending before Magistrate Judge Nicholas P. Mizell. Now that the parties are only awaiting the Court's approval of the settlement, the Court reminds the parties they are free to consent to the assigned United States Magistrate Judge (Judge Mizell) for the final approval of the settlement agreement. If the parties choose to consent, the Court directs them to file a notice of consent form (available on the Court's website). Of course, either party is free to withhold consent without any adverse consequences. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2).
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
If applicable, the parties must file a notice of consent form on or before May 20, 2021.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on May 13, 2021.
