a
Profit Corporation,

Florida
Defendant.
OPINION AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on consideration of the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. #21), filed
January 7, 2014, recommending that the parties' Joint Motion for
Approval of Settlement Agreement and Dismissal of the Action With
Prejudice
(Doc.
#18)
be
granted,
the
Confidential
Settlement
Agreement and Claimant's Full and Final Release of Claims for
Unpaid Wages (Doc. #18-1) be approved as fair and reasonable, and
the case be dismissed with prejudice.
The parties filed a Joint
Notice of Non Objection to Report and Recommendation (Doc. #23) on
January 9, 2014, seeking to have their motion granted.
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings
and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject or modify
the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.
28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1); United States v. Powell, 628 F.3d 1254, 1256 (11th Cir.
2010).
The district judge reviews legal conclusions de novo, even
in the absence of an objection.
See Cooper-Houston v. Southern
Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994).
After a careful and
complete review of the findings and recommendations, and finding
no objection, the Court finds that the Report and Recommendation
of the Magistrate Judge should be approved.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. #21) is hereby adopted
and the findings incorporated herein.
2.
The parties’ Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement
Agreement and Dismissal of the Action With Prejudice (Doc. #18) is
granted and the Confidential Settlement Agreement and Claimant's
Full and Final Release of Claims for Unpaid Wages (Doc. #18-1) is
approved as a fair and reasonable resolution.
3.
The Clerk shall enter judgment dismissing the case with
prejudice, terminate all pending deadlines as moot, and close the
file.
DONE and ORDERED at Fort Myers, Florida, this
of January, 2014.
