Background
The plaintiffs brought this action under the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law. The parties consented to the court’s authority to decide the matter. After reaching an agreement in principle, they submitted a proposed settlement agreement and a letter explaining why they believed the agreement was fair, reasonable, and adequate.
Settlement Review
Because settlements of Fair Labor Standards Act claims require judicial review for fairness, the court examined the parties’ submissions and the proposed agreement. The court found that the agreement was fair, reasonable, and adequate both to address the plaintiffs’ claims and to compensate the plaintiffs’ counsel for legal fees. The opinion does not state the settlement amount or describe the agreement’s individual payment terms.
Ruling
The court approved the proposed settlement. At the parties’ request, it retained jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement if necessary. The court also ordered that the action be discontinued with prejudice and without costs and directed the Clerk of Court to close the case.
