UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
JACKSONVILLE DIVISION
ROBERT KEELEY, and others,
similarly situated,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 3:16-cv-1265-J-32MCR

L&M WAREHOUSE & PACKAGING
OF NORTH FLORIDA, LLC,
Defendant.
ORDER
This FLSA case is before the Court on the Joint Motion to Approve Settlement
and to Dismiss With Prejudice (Doc. 18). On March 29, 2017, the assigned United
States Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 22)
recommending that the Court grant the motion to the extent the settlement agreement
should be approved and the case be dismissed with prejudice and denied to the extent
it asks that the Court retain jurisdiction to enforce Defendant’s obligations to make
the payments to Plaintiffs and their attorney pursuant to the settlement agreement.1
It is further recommended that the Clerk of Court be directed to terminate any
pending motions and close the case.

It appears that Paragraph 11 of the Settlement Agreement does not ask the
Court to retain jurisdiction but merely provides that any new action to enforce the
agreement must be filed in this Court.
1

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. 22), it is hereby
ORDERED:
1.

The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. 22) is

ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
2.

The Joint Motion to Approve Settlement and to Dismiss With Prejudice

(Doc. 18) is GRANTED to the extent the settlement agreement is APPROVED and
the case is DISMISSED with prejudice.
3.

The Clerk shall terminate any pending motions and deadlines and close

the file.
DONE AND ORDERED in Jacksonville, Florida the 18th day of April, 2017.
