ORDER
The joint motion is granted. The Court approves the parties' proposed
settlement. In re Flight Transportation Corp. Securities Litigation, 730 F.2d 1128,
1135 (8th Cir. 1984).

It makes plaintiffs whole for their alleged back

wages - plus liquidated damages in a like amount. The attorney's fees are
more than reasonable; they're only a small slice of the fees actually incurred
for the whole case. The parties' promise of confidentiality binds them, but not
the Court. Delock v. Securitas Security Services USA, Inc., 4:11-cv-520-DPM, NQ
70 at 3-4 (E.D. Ark. 16 November 2012). The settlement agreement therefore

needs to be unsealed. And what is left of the amended complaint will be
dismissed with prejudice.
