ORDER
RICHARD A. LLORET U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
AND NOW this 23rd day of March, 2022, upon consideration of the Defendants' motion for reconsideration (Doc. No. 23), it is ORDERED that the motion is DENIED.
Defendants filed their motion as a “written statement of objections pursuant to Local Rule 72.1 (IV)(a). Doc. No. 23. However, the cited rule only applies when a case is referred by a district judge to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). Here, the parties consented to my jurisdiction over the entirety of the case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). See Doc. No. 10, 15. In the interest of fairness to the parties, I will nevertheless construe this motion as a motion for reconsideration pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e)(1) and Local Civil Rule 7.1(g).
