STANDING ORDER REGARDING ASSIGNMENT OF APPEALS OF
SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION DECISIONS
The parties in an appeal of the decision of the Social Security Administration may
choose to file consent to the appeal being decided by a Magistrate Judge of this District,
with judgment entered following the Magistrate Judge's decision on the Social Security
appeal. Any appeal from the Magistrate Judge's ruling would be to the Second Circuit
Court of Appeals. The plaintiff may file his/her consent anytime from commencement of
their case through fourteen (14) days from the defendant's notice of appearance. The
defendant must file his/her consent within fourteen (14) days of the filing of his/her
notice of appearance.
If a party does not consent within the time limit for that party as described above,

Pending random assignment to either a Magistrate Judge or District Judge, all
Social Security appeals will be temporarily assigned to the docket of the Chief Judge.
A copy of the Consent Form is attached to this Standing Order.
