Opinion

Case No. 8:05-CV-770-T-27MSS.

ORDER

JAMES WHITTEMORE, District Judge

BEFORE THE COURT is the parties' Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement Agreement and General Release and Joint Stipulation for Voluntary Dismissal of Claims with Prejudice (Dkt. 48). Upon consideration of the motion and attached Settlement Agreement and General Release (Dkt. 48-2), this Court finds that the proposed settlement is a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute over provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq. See Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. U.S., 679 F.2d 1350, 1353-55 (11th Cir. 1982) (district court may enter a stipulated judgment after scrutinizing and approving the fairness of the settlement). Accordingly, it is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that

1) The parties' Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement Agreement and General Release and Joint Stipulation for Voluntary Dismissal of Claims with Prejudice (Dkt. 48) is GRANTED.

2) The parties' settlement, including the Settlement Agreement and General Release (Dkt. 48-2), is APPROVED.

3) This cause is DISMISSED with prejudice.

4) All pending motions are DENIED as moot.

5) The Clerk is directed to close this case.

DONE AND ORDERED.
