McClendon v. J&A Security Services, LLC

Filing 6

ORDER dismissing case Signed by Judge Roy B. Dalton, Jr. on 5/2/2017. (VMF)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
ORLANDO DIVISION
TREVOINE M. MCCLENDON,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 6:17-cv-590-Orl-37DCI

J&A SECURITY SERVICES, LLC,
Defendant.
_____________________________________
ORDER
Plaintiff previously asserted claims in this action for violations of the Fair Labor
Standards Act (“FLSA”). (Doc. 1.) On May 1, 2017, Plaintiff filed a notice: (1) purporting
to dismiss this action with prejudice; and (2) indicating that Defendant had agreed to pay
him all amounts owed under the FLSA “in full, without compromise.” (Doc. 5
(“Notice”).) The Notice also represents that the parties agreed to the payment of attorney
fees and costs separately. (Id.)
Accepting Plaintiff’s representations as true, there is no need for the Court to
review a written settlement agreement. Bonetti v. Embarq Mgmt. Co., 715 F. Supp. 2d 1222,
1226 n.6 (M.D. Fla. 2009) (indicating that a court need not review an FLSA settlement
when the parties stipulate that the plaintiff’s claims will be paid in full, without
compromise). Additionally, in light of Plaintiff’s representation that the parties resolved
the payment of attorney fees separately from the amount paid to Plaintiff, the Court need
not address the reasonableness of such fee. Id. at 1228.
