Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No: 6:14-cv-571-Orl-PRL

CLAYTON HOSPITALITY GROUP,
INC., et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the parties’ joint motion to approve settlement. (Doc.
155). The parties have entered into a settlement agreement disposing of the Fair Labor Standards
Act (“FLSA”) claims brought by Plaintiffs.

agreement, I find that it is a “fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute” over FLSA
issues. See Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350 (11th Cir. 1982).
Accordingly, the parties’ joint motion to approve settlement (Doc. 155) is GRANTED.
The Settlement Agreement is APPROVED and this case is DISMISSED with prejudice. The
Clerk is directed to close the file.
