Judge Curtis L. Collier

ORDER
On October 13, 2015, Plaintiffs and Defendant TDOE filed a joint motion for a hearing
on a proposed settlement. (Doc. 86.) The Court referred the motion to Magistrate Judge Susan
K. Lee. (Doc. 93.) On November 10, 2015, the Magistrate Judge held a hearing. Magistrate
Judge Lee filed a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the Court approve
the settlement, having determined that “the settlement, including the proposed allocation of the
settlement fund, is fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of Minor Plaintiff.” (Doc. 112.) No
party has filed an objection. Having reviewed the R&R, the Court agrees with the Magistrate
Judge’s recommendation. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the R&R (Doc.
112), GRANTS the joint motion (Doc. 86), and APPROVES the settlement agreement.
SO ORDERED.
