MATTHEW FONTENOT, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, Plaintiff, v. MCNEIL INDUSTRIAL, INC., Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Magistrate Judge Bazis has issued a Findings and Recommendation (Filing No. 47) that Plaintiff's Motion for Conditional Certification and Notice to Putative Class Members (Filing No. 24) be granted. Defendant has filed an objection (Filing No. 57) to the Findings and Recommendation. Whether reviewed de novo or under a "clearly erroneous or . . . contrary to law" standard, I conclude that Magistrate Judge Bazis has thoroughly and correctly analyzed the facts and the law, and the Judge's Findings and Recommendation should be adopted. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 (Westlaw 2018). Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1. The Findings and Recommendation (Filing No. 47) is adopted;
2. Defendant's objection (Filing No. 57) to the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation is denied;
3. Plaintiff's Motion for Conditional Certification and Notice to Putative Class Members (Filing No. 24) is granted; and
4. While Defendant does not object to the Magistrate Judge's Findings regarding the Notice and Consent Forms (Filing No. 47 at CM/ECF pp. 5-7), the court hereby clarifies that the Judge's findings in this regard are adopted.
DATED this 1st day of November, 2018.
