Nieves Romero Rivera et al v. Silver Star Cleaners Inc. et al

Filing 63

ORDER: The parties have submitted a revised settlement agreement in this Fair Labor Standards Act case. Pursuant to Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2015), the Court must determine whether the settlement is fair and reasonable. The Court rejected the parties' original agreement because it included clauses referencing confidentiality and judgment on consent, as well as an overbroad release of the Plaintiffs' claims. See Opinion & Order, ECF No. 46 a t 7. The parties' revised settlement agreement has addressed the Court's concerns, and for the reasons expressed in its prior opinion, the Court approves the revised settlement agreement, ECF No. 61, as fair and reasonable. The request to approve the proposed Settlement Agreement is therefore GRANTED. The Court will separately so-order the parties' Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Crotty on 6/14/2022) (va)
