FAUSTINO QUIROGA, Plaintiff, v. L.L.B., INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
VERNON S. BRODERICK, United States District Judge:
On July 8, 2022, the parties filed an AO 85 Notice, Consent, and Reference of a Civil Action to a Magistrate Judge form, amended to indicate that their consent was “FOR APPROVAL OF THE FLSA SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ONLY.” (Doc. 23.) This alteration is improper. If the parties intend to consent to a magistrate judge's consideration of a specific dispositive motion, the parties are directed to instead file an AO 85A Notice, Consent, and Reference of a Dispositive Motion to a Magistrate Judge form, available at https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/2018-06/AO-4.pdf. If the parties intend to consent to a magistrate judge's authority over the entire civil action, the parties are directed to refile the AO 85 form, without revision, available at https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/2018-06/AO-3.pdf, on or before July 15, 2022.
SO ORDERED.
