ORDER
This cause is before the Court on the parties’ Renewed Joint Motion for Approval
of Settlement and Motion for Dismissal with Prejudice (Doc. 74) filed on January 4, 2018.
The United States Magistrate Judge has submitted a report recommending that the
motion be granted in part.
After an independent de novo review of the record in this matter, and noting that
no objections were timely filed, the Court agrees entirely with the findings of fact and
conclusions of law in the Report and Recommendation.
Therefore, it is ORDERED as follows:
1.

The Report and Recommendation filed January 11, 2018 (Doc. 75), is

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

The Court FINDS that the parties’ Settlement Agreement and Release of

FLSA Claims (Doc. 74-1) is a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute under
the FLSA.

3.

The Renewed Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement and Motion for

Dismissal with Prejudice (Doc. 74) is GRANTED IN PART. The Court declines to reserve
jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement.
4.

This case is DISMISSED with prejudice.

5.

The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file.

DONE AND ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on January 26, 2018.
