Background
This was a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) action brought by Joseph Rodriguez against Clearbrook Management Inc. The parties reached a settlement. Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave issued a Report and Recommendation dated December 13, 2022, recommending that the settlement be approved.
Review of the Recommendation
Under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the parties had 14 days after service of the Report and Recommendation to file written objections. No objections were filed. Judge Jennifer L. Rochon therefore reviewed the uncontested recommendation for clear error, which means an obvious mistake in the record. The Court found that Judge Cave’s recommendation was free from clear error.
Ruling and Disposition
The Court adopted Judge Cave’s December 13, 2022 Report and Recommendation in its entirety, thereby approving the parties’ settlement. The Clerk of Court was directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 16 and close the case.
