THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the parties’ Revised Joint Motion for Approval of

Therefore, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The Amended Report and Recommendation (Doc. 33) is ADOPTED and
CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.
2. The Revised Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement (Doc. 32) is GRANTED, the
parties’ agreement is APPROVED, and this case is DISMISSED with prejudice.
3. The Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement (Doc. 30) and the Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 31) are MOOT.
