On February 2, 2015, Plaintiff Eric Manley filed an unopposed motion for approval of the

14

settlement of his claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), as well as his claims for

15

state wage and hour violations under New York and Connecticut law. The parties have consented

16

to jurisdiction of the Court for all purposes, and Defendant The Hershey Company does not

17

oppose the motion. The terms of the proposed settlement are outlined in the Joint Stipulation of

18

Settlement, which is attached as Exhibit A to Plaintiff’s motion.

19

Having considered the Plaintiff’s motion and supporting documents, the Court GRANTS

20

approval of the settlement. The Court finds that the settlement is a fair and reasonable

21

compromise of a bona fide FLSA dispute.

22

Accordingly, this action is dismissed with prejudice and on the merits.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
