CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:14-CV-226

ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF
SETTLEMENT
Before the Court is the Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion for Order Approving
Settlement of FLSA Claims Pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 216(b). For good cause shown, and
as more fully explained below, the Motion is GRANTED.
The Court finds that the settlement terms negotiated by the parties and described
in their Settlement Agreement, a copy of which was attached to the Motion, are a fair and
reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute between the FLSA Class Members (i.e., the
Named Plaintiffs and those individuals who elect to participate in the settlement, as
identified on Exhibit A to the Settlement Agreement) and the Defendants, that the
Attorney’s Fees and Expenses Payment requested in the Motion is reasonable, that the
Service Payments requested in the Motion are reasonable, and that the settlement of the
claims as to the FLSA Class Members as set forth in the Settlement Agreement is
therefore approved. The Parties shall administer the settlement of the claims of the FLSA
Class Members as set forth in the Settlement Agreement.

1/2

The claims of the Plaintiffs and any FLSA Class Member that participates in the
settlement are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure.
SIGNED this 19th day of October, 2016.
