ORDER
This case is before the Court on the Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement (Doc. No. 28) filed May 4, 2009. 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 consideration of the Joint Notice of Non-Objection Regarding The Holding Of The Report Recommendation Dated May 4, 2009 (Doc. No. 29), the Court agrees entirely with the findings of fact and conclusions of law in the Report and Recommendation. Therefore, it is ORDERED as follows:
The Court notes Plaintiff's attorney "disagrees" with the Report and Recommendation's determination of Plaintiff's counsel's hourly rate. (Doc. 29). This Court does not address this determination or disagreement as the Report and Recommendation's recommendation of the award is as to the proposed settlement which is less than the fees and costs under a lodestar analysis.
1. That the Report and Recommendation filed May 4, 2009 (Doc. No. 28) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.
2. The Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement (Doc. No. 26) is GRANTED.
