SASCOSPORTS, INC.,
Defendant.

ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the parties’ Renewed Joint Motion to Approve FLSA
Settlement and Dismissal with Prejudice (“Renewed Motion,” Doc. 32). United States Magistrate
Judge Karla R. Spaulding issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R,” Doc. 34), in which she
recommends that the Renewed Motion be granted in part. Specifically, Judge Spaulding
recommends that the Court strike the modification provision from the Settlement Agreement, find
that the settlement of the FLSA claim is reasonable, approve the parties’ Settlement Agreement as
modified, and dismiss the case with prejudice. (Id. at 8).
After a de novo review of the record, and noting that no objections were timely filed, this
Court agrees with the analysis in the R&R. Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as
follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 34) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and
made part of this Order.
2. To the extent the modification provision (Doc. 27-1 ¶ 12) purports to allow the
Settlement Agreement to be modified without Court approval, it is STRICKEN.

3. The parties’ Renewed Joint Motion to Approve FLSA Settlement and Dismissal
with Prejudice (Doc. 32) is GRANTED; the Settlement Agreement, as amended
by this Court, is APPROVED; and this case is DISMISSED with prejudice.
4. The Clerk is directed to close this case.
DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on November 14, 2017.
