Vasquez et al v. MobileShack Inc. et al
Filing 191
ORDER: On February 2, 2024, the parties submitted a proposed settlement agreement, Dkt. 190 ("Agreement"), in this Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law action. The Court has carefully reviewed the Agreement. The Court concludes, substantially for the reasons stated in the parties' letter, that the proposed settlement agreement is fair and reasonable. Under the Agreement, defendants agree to pay $43,381.24 to plaintiffs, and $20,881.24 in attorneys' fees t o plaintiffs' attorney, Bart Pittari, plus an additional $3,237.52 in filing and service costs. The Agreement therefore allocates less than one third of the settlement amount, net of costs, to plaintiff's counsel as attorneys' fee s. Upon careful review of the Agreement, the Court is satisfied that the Agreement was achieved through procedurally fair means and is fair and reasonable such that it satisfies the standard set forth in Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2015). Accordingly, the Court approves the Agreement. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate all pending motions and close this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 2/06/2024) (ama)
