ORDER

JOHN ANTOON II, District Judge

This case is before the Court on the Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement (Doc. No. 13) filed August 7, 2008. The United States Magistrate Judge has submitted a report recommending that the motion be granted.

After an independent de novo review of the record in this matter, and noting that no objections were timely filed, the Court agrees entirely with the findings of fact and conclusions of law in the Report and Recommendation. Therefore, it is ORDERED as follows:

1. That the Report and Recommendation filed August 12, 2008 (Doc. No. 14) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.

2. The Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement Agreement (Doc. No. 13) is granted in part.

3. The Court finds that the overtime compensation Plaintiff will receive pursuant to the Settlement Agreement is a fair resolution of a bona fide dispute under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA").

4. The Court declines to retain jurisdiction to enforce the Settlement Agreement.

5. This case is dismissed with prejudice.

6. The Clerk is directed to close this file.

DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, Orlando, Florida.
