CASE NO. 1:11 CV 00244
ORDER ADOPTING THE
MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION AND GRANTING
THE PARTIES’ JOINT MOTION FOR
APPROVAL OF THE COLLECTIVE
ACTION SETTLEMENT

Defendant.
-----------------------------------------------------UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE LESLEY WELLS
On 9 August 2011, this matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge
Greg White for supervision of all pretrial matters, including recommendations on
dispositive motions. (Doc. 17). On 22 February 2013, following a settlement conference
with the magistrate judge, the parties filed a joint motion, under seal, for approval of the
settlement agreements reached between them, pursuant to § 16(b) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 216(b). (Doc. 62). The magistrate judge issued a report and
recommendation (R&R), advising that this Court grant the joint motion and approve the
proposed settlement agreements. (Doc. 63).

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court makes a de novo determination of
those portions of the R&R to which a timely objection is made. In this instance, neither
party has filed objections. The magistrate judge’s R&R is adopted in its entirety, the
parties’ joint motion is granted, and the settlement agreements are approved, as set
forth in the R&R.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
