Re: Dkt. No. 18

Defendants.

14
Plaintiff Yonathan I. Gonzalez requests that the Court dismiss his Fair Labor
15
Standards Act case against defendants Nor-Cal Insulation, Inc., Luis Ramos Bermudez,
16
and Jose Guadalupe Lucatero with prejudice. All parties have now consented to the
17
jurisdiction of a magistrate judge. Dkt. Nos. 11, 14, 15, 16. The Court GRANTS
18
Gonzalez’s request.
19
Having reviewed the settlement agreement, Dkt. No. 17-1, as well as plaintiff’s
20
counsel’s declaration describing the potential unpaid wage value ($13,036.32) and the
21
case’s potential value with penalties ($30,000), Dkt. No. 17, the Court finds the agreement
22
terms ($22,000 settlement amount) to be a “fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide
23
dispute” and dismisses the case. See Luo v. Zynga Inc., No. 13-cv-00186 NC, 2014 WL
24
457742, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 31, 2014) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
25
IT IS SO ORDERED.
