ORDER
This cause is before the Court on the Parties' Joint Motion and Memorandum of
Law for Approval of Settlement Agreement (Doc. 25) filed on October 5, 2017. 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 a
Joint Notice of No Objection was filed (Doc. 27), 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 October 6, 2017 (Doc. 26), is

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

Paragraph 8 of the Settlement Agreement and Release of FLSA Claims

(Doc. 25-1) is SEVERED from the agreement.
3.

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

FLSA Claims (Doc. 25-1) is a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute under
the FLSA.

4.

The Parties' Joint Motion and Memorandum of Law for Approval of

Settlement Agreement (Doc. 25) is GRANTED IN PART. The Court declines to reserve
jurisdiction to enforce the Settlement Agreement.
5.

The case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

6.

The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file.

DONE AND ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on October 10, 2017.
