Background

They submitted a joint motion and a settlement agreement for approval under the standard requiring court review of Fair Labor Standards Act settlements.

Court’s analysis

It concluded that all settlement terms—including the allocation of attorneys’ fees and costs—appeared fair and reasonable under the totality of the circumstances and the factors identified in the cited case law. The opinion does not disclose the settlement amount or provide additional details about the agreement’s terms.

Ruling

The court approved the settlement. It dismissed the action with prejudice and without costs except as provided in the settlement agreement. The court retained jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement, declared any pending motions moot, directed the clerk to mark the settlement motion as granted, and directed the clerk to close the case.
