SHERICIA CAMPBELL, Plaintiff, v. MID-FLORIDA PATHOLOGY, LLC., STRATEGIC BUSINESS OUTSOURCING, LLC., OLEKSANDR ONUSHKO and GILMAR TADIOTO, Defendants
The parties have consented to the jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge. Doc. Nos. 74-76.
LESLIE HOFFMAN PRICE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court on a mediation report, indicating that the parties have settled the case. Doc. No. 77. Based thereon, and given that this case arises under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), it is ORDERED that, on or before December 20, 2024, the parties shall file a motion for settlement approval under Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350 (11th Cir. 1982). The motion must be supported by a copy of a fully executed settlement agreement. In the motion, the parties shall explain the amount of wages Plaintiff(s) claimed to be owed, whether and to what extent Plaintiff(s) compromised their claims, whether the amount of attorney's fees and costs was agreed upon separately and without regard to the amount Plaintiff(s) agreed to accept, and, if not, evidence that the attorney's fees and costs to be paid under the settlement are reasonable. In addition, if the parties have agreed to any additional terms such as a broad or general release, or confidentiality, nondisparagement, or no re-employment provisions, counsel must explain why such provisions do not impact the reasonableness and fairness of the settlement amount.
DONE and ORDERED
