ORDER

STEVEN MERRYDAY, District Judge

Pursuant to Rule 41(a), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the plaintiff voluntarily dismisses (Doc. 17) this action without prejudice. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE, ¹ and the Clerk is directed to (1) terminate any pending motion and (2) close the case.

1 To the extent that a settlement agreement or "side deal" underlies the plaintiff's dismissing this action, the agreement (absent court review and approval) is ineffective, unenforceable, and precludes no future action by the plaintiff pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Dees v. Hydradry, Inc., ___ F. Supp. 2d ___, 2010 WL 1539813 (M.D. Fla. Apr. 19, 2010).
