The Report and Recommendation filed March 3, 2017 (Doc. 30), is

ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.
2.

The Second Amended Joint Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement

(Doc. 29) is GRANTED only to the extent the Court finds the settlement is fair and
reasonable.
3.

The Motion is otherwise DENIED.

4.

The following language is STRICKEN from the Amended Settlement

Agreement: “Plaintiff shall not initiate or instigate any future judicial or administrative
proceedings against the Defendants that in any way involve allegations or facts arising
from the hours worked during his employment with the Defendants in any forum as of the
date of the execution of this Agreement.”
5.

This case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

6.

The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file.
