UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION

Plaintiff,
v.
Case No: 2:17-cv-318-FtM-38CM

SCOTT A. GOULD,
Defendants.

ORDER1
This matter comes before the Court on the Notice of Settlement (Doc. 30) and Joint
Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice (Doc. 31). In June 2017, Plaintiff Soleidy Perez
sued Defendants The Laundry Lady, Inc. and Scott A. Gould Masquerade for unpaid
wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). (Doc. 1). The parties have since
settled the FLSA claim in full, without comprises, and separately from attorney’s fees and
costs. (Doc. 30). The Court thus does not need to review and approve the settlement for
fairness. See Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. U.S. Dep’t of Labor, 679 F.2d 1350, 1352 (11th
Cir. 1982); King v. My Online Neighborhood, Inc., No. 6:06-cv-435-Orl-22JGG, 2007 WL
737575, at *3 (M.D. Fla. Mar. 7, 2007) (“Where the employer offers the plaintiff full

stipulated dismissal is effective upon filing. See Anago Franchising, Inc. v. Shaz, LLC,
677 F.3d 1272, 1278 (11th Cir. 2012). The Court thus dismisses this case with prejudice.
Accordingly, it is now
