Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the Motion for Decertification of Conditionally-Certified Collective Action[Rec. Doc. 158] is GRANTED, and the claims of the opt-in plaintiffs are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that Plaintiff's Motion for Expansion of the Minimum Wage Class[Rec. Doc. 153] is DENIED AS MOOT.
