Filing 45

ORDER: On May 6, 2022, the parties reached agreement on all issues in court-order mediation. See Dkt. 43. However, because this case is a wage-and-hour case brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Court must review the settlement by the pa rties under Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2015). The parties are therefore directed to submit their proposed settlement for review by May 31, 2022, along with a memorandum of law explaining why the settlement warrants approval under Cheeks. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to reopen this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 5/9/2022) (ks)
