THIS MATTER is before the Court on the parties’ Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement

The Court has reviewed the instant Motion, the Settlement Agreement (Doc. No. 9-1), and
the record. The Court has also considered the stage of the proceedings, the absence of fraud or
collusion in the settlement, the experience of Plaintiff’s counsel, and the probability of Plaintiff’s
success on the merits. Based on its review of the foregoing and the totality of the circumstances,
the Court determines the terms of the settlement of this litigation are fair and reasonable, including
the amounts paid to Plaintiff, as well as the reimbursement of costs paid to her attorney.
Accordingly, the Court APPROVES the settlement and GRANTS the Joint Motion for
Approval of Settlement (Doc. No. 9).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
