JOHN L. BADALAMENTI UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Magistrate Judge has entered a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 28), recommending that the Court grant the Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement (Doc. 22). No party has objected, and the time to do so has expired.
A district judge may accept, reject, or modify the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The district judge must “make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.” Id.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 28) is ADOPTED and made part of this Order for all purposes.
2. The Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement (Doc. 22) is GRANTED.
3. The case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, and the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter judgment in accordance with the Settlement Agreement (Doc. 22 at 8-23), to terminate any pending motions and deadlines, and to close this case.
