Background
This case arises under the Fair Labor Standards Act, a federal law governing subjects including wages and working hours. The opinion states that the parties settled the case at mediation. It also states that the parties consented to Judge Sarah Netburn’s jurisdiction.
Order
The court ordered the parties to submit two items by June 25, 2025:
1. The executed settlement agreement; and 2. A cover letter explaining why the court should approve the settlement.

The court directed that the settlement agreement be filed publicly on the electronic docket unless a party establishes a basis for sealing the documents under the standard identified in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006).
