TREVOR WILLIAMS, Individually and on

PLAINTIFF

No. 3:23-cv-31-DPM

v.

D&H CONTRACTING, INC.

DEFENDANT
ORDER

The joint status report, Doc. 23, is noted and appreciated. The
joint motion, Doc. 21, is granted.

The proposed settlement-as

modified, Doc. 23 at 1-is fair, reasonable, and adequate. Lynn's Food

Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1353 (11th Cir. 1982);
see also Barbee v. Big River Steel, LLC, 927 F.3d 1024, 2027 (8th Cir. 2019);
Melgar v. OK Foods, 902 F.3d 775, 779 (8th Cir. 2018). It reflects a
good-faith compromise of the parties' wage-related dispute. And the
parties negotiated the attorney's fees and costs separately. Barbee,
927 F.3d at 1027. Plus those fees related to all claims. The complaint
will be dismissed with prejudice.
So Ordered.
