Opinion

Case No. 6:07-cv-492-Orl-28DAB.

September 12, 2007

ORDER

JOHN ANTOON II, District Judge

This case is before the Court on the Joint Motion to Approve Settlement (Doc. No. 16) filed August 20, 2007. The United States Magistrate Judge has submitted a report recommending that the motion be granted in part.

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 21, 2007 (Doc. No. 17) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.

2. The settlement terms with respect to the unpaid overtime claims (but not the unsigned settlement agreement) are APPROVED as a "fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute" of the Fair Labor Standards Act issues.

3. All pending motions are denied as moot and this case is dismissed with prejudice.

4. The Clerk is directed to close this file.

DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, Orlando, Florida.
