Case No. 16-cv-03740 NC
LAUNDERLUX, LLC, and others,
Re: ECF 34
Defendant.
16
Presented to the Court is a stipulated settlement and proposed order of dismissal.
17
ECF 34. Because one of plaintiff’s claims is under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act
18
(FLSA), approval by either the Secretary of Labor or the Court is required before the claim
19
may be settled. When presented with a proposed settlement of an FLSA claim, the Court
20
“must determine whether the settlement is a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide
21
dispute over FLSA provisions.” See Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d
22
1350, 1355 (11th Cir. 1982); Yue Zhou v. Wang’s Restaurant, Case No. 05-cv-0279 PVT,
23
2007 WL 2298046, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 8, 2007).
24
The Court reviewed the settlement in open court on August 9. The Court
25
determines that the settlement is fair and reasonable. It is approved. In accordance with
26
the settlement terms, the case is dismissed and the clerk of court is asked to terminate the
27
case administratively. The Court retains jurisdiction solely for the purpose of enforcing
28
Case No. 16-cv-03740 NC

the settlement agreement and this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
