ORDER
On January 27, 2015, the parties filed a joint motion for settlement approval (Court File No.
19). The Court referred the motion to Magistrate Judge Susan K. Lee (Court File No. 20). On
February 6, 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 agreement represented a “fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute
over FLSA provisions.” Lynn’s Food Store, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1355 (11th Cir.
1982); see also Crawford v. Lexington-Fayette Urban County Gov’t, No. 06-299-JBC, 2008 WL
4724499, at *2-3 (E.D. Ky. Oct. 23, 2008). Neither party filed an objection. The Court ACCEPTS
and ADOPTS the R&R, GRANTS the joint motion (Court File No. 19), and APPROVES the
settlement agreement.
SO ORDERED.
