PLAINTIFFS

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Joint status report, Doc. 35, appreciated. The joint motion, Doc. 33,
is granted. The proposed settlement 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
attorney’s fee was negotiated separately. The Court will dismiss the
complaint with prejudice and retain jurisdiction for a time to enforce
the settlement.
So Ordered.
