ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement and for
Dismissal with Prejudice (Doc. 38). United States Magistrate Judge Thomas B. Smith issued a
Report and Recommendation (Doc. 39), recommending that the motion be granted but that a
portion of the Release of Claims be stricken. After a de novo review, and noting that no objections
were timely filed, the Court agrees with the analysis in the Report and Recommendation.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 39) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and
made a part of this Order.
2. The portion of the Release of Claims that purports to release parties that are not
before the Court (Doc. 38-1 ¶¶ 5–6) is STRICKEN.
3. The Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement and for Dismissal with Prejudice
(Doc. 38) is GRANTED as set forth in this Order; the Settlement Agreement, as
amended by this Court, is APPROVED; and this case is DISMISSED with
prejudice.
