ORDER

The stay is lifted. The joint motion to approve, NQ3 7, is granted.
The parties' proposed settlement is fair and reasonable all around.
Bethany is made whole. The fees are modest. (The Court doesn't have
the benefit of billing records, but doesn't need them to evaluate this
deal because the docket reflects more work by counsel than they' re
getting paid for.) And this proposal is the product of arms-length
negotiations. The case will be dismissed with prejudice.

So Ordered.
D .P. Marshall Jr.
United States District Judge
