PARK AVENUE DERMATOLOGY,
P.A., GEORGE J. SCHMIEDER, and
MARY E. SCHMIEDER,
Defendants.
ORDER
This case is before the Court on the Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement
(Doc. 16). On October 25, 2016, the assigned United States Magistrate Judge issued a
Report and Recommendation (Doc. 17) recommending that the Court: (1) grant the
parties’ motion (Doc. 16) to the extent it seeks approval of the settlement of the
plaintiffs’ FLSA claims, finding the settlement is a fair and reasonable compromise of
disputed issues; (2) deny the parties’ motion to the extent it seeks a reservation of
jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement (Doc. 16 at 5); and (3) dismiss the
case with prejudice.
No party has filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation, and the time
in which to do so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); M.D. Fla.
R. 6.02(a).
Upon de novo review and for the reasons stated in the Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 17), it is hereby

ORDERED:
1.

The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. 17) is

ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
2.

The Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement (Doc. 16) is GRANTED to

the extent it seeks approval of the settlement of the plaintiffs’ FLSA claims, as the
Court finds the settlement is a fair and reasonable compromise of disputed issues, and
DENIED to the extent it seeks a reservation of jurisdiction to enforce the settlement
agreement (Doc. 16 at 5).
3.

The case is DISMISSED with prejudice.

4.

The Clerk should close the file.

DONE AND ORDERED in Jacksonville, Florida the 15th day of November,
2016.
