THEODORE ALLEN, Plaintiff, v. WASTE PRO OF FLORIDA, INC., Defendant.
ORDER
ROY B. DALTON JR., UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
In this Fair Labor Standards Act case, the parties moved the Court for approval of their settlement (Doc. 31-1 (“Agreement”)). (Doc. 31 (“Motion”).) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel C. Irick entered a Report and Recommendation submitting that the Court should grant the Motion. (Doc. 32 (“R&R”).) The time has passed and there were no objections, so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 Fed.Appx. 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is due to be adopted in its entirety.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED.
1. The R&R (Doc. 32) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order in its entirety.
2. The Motion (Doc. 31) is GRANTED.
3. The Agreement (Doc. 31-1) is APPROVED as fair and reasonable.
As Judge Irick noted, the issue of attorney's fees and costs does not affect the reasonableness of the settlement, so as long as the parties come to an agreement on that issue, they need not file an application with the Court.
4. This case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
5. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file.
DONE AND ORDERED.
