Case No. 08-14228-CIV-GRAHAM/LYNCH.
October 20, 2008
ORDER
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the Joint Motion for Court Review and Approval of Settlement Agreement and Dismissal of Case with Prejudice [D.E. 21].
THE MATTER was initially referred for a settlement conference to the Honorable United States Magistrate Judge Frank J. Lynch, Jr. pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and the Magistrate Rules for the Southern District of Florida [D.E. 12]. Judge Lynch issued a Report and Recommendation [D.E. 25] recommending that the Joint Motion be granted, the Settlement be approved and the matter dismissed with prejudice.
THE COURT has conducted an independent review of the record and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. According to the Report, the parties do not need the normal ten day period within which to file objections because the settlement included resolution of all of the issues. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Magistrate Judge's Report [D.E. 25] is AFFIRMED, ADOPTED AND RATIFIED in its entirety. It is further
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Joint Motion for Court Review and Approval of Settlement Agreement and Dismissal of Case with Prejudice [D.E. 21] is GRANTED. This action is dismissed with prejudice.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida.
