JUAN ELIAS DE JESUS, Plaintiff, v. FORDHAM FULTON REALTY, CORP, and LOTUS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., Defendants.
ORDER
ANALISA TORRES, District Judge:
On May 4, 2022, the Court ordered the parties to file a joint letter motion requesting that the Coiul approve the settlement agreement or, alternatively, provide documentation of the appr oval by Department of Labor (“DOL”) by June 2, 2022. ECF No. 72. This submission is overdue. Accordingly, by June 17, 2022, the parties shall file either a joint letter motion requesting that the Court approve the settlement agreement or documentation of the approval by DOL.
The parties are reminded that they may consent to proceed before the Honorable Sarah L. Cave, who would then oversee the approval of the settlement. If the parties consent to Judge Cave's 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://nvsd.uscornts.gov/node/754 on the docket. Hie parties are free to withhold consent without negative consequences.
If the Coiut approves that form, all further proceedings will then be conducted before Judge Cave 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 Com! of Appeals for the Second Cir cuit, as it would be if the consent form were not signed and so ordered.
SO ORDERED.
