ORDER
This cause is before the court on a Motion to Approve the Settlement Agreement (Doc.
#13).
Upon reviewing the Motion to Approve the Settlement, and reviewing the Settlement
Agreement submitted for review in camera, this court is of the opinion that there are bona fide
disputes over provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §201, et seq (“FLSA”), and
that the settlement is a fair and reasonable resolution of such bona fide disputes and should be
approved by this court.
Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED as follows:
1. The Motion to Approve the Settlement Agreement (Doc. #13), is GRANTED, and all
claims in this action are DISMISSED with prejudice.
2. Costs are taxed as paid.
Done this 23rd day of April, 2012.
