CHAD ASKEW PLAINTIFF

No. 4:19-cv-177-DPM

MOTIVE CARE & SUPPLY, INC. and DONALD LEONHARD DEFENDANTS

ORDER The Court appreciates the parties filing the settlement agreement. All material things considered, the proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. United States,

, 1353 (11th Cir. 1982); Melgar v. OK Foods,

(8th Cir. 2018). It reflects a good-faith compromise of contested overtime compensation issues. The attorneys’ fee was handled separately and at arm’s length from the overtime claims, removing any possibility of a conflict of interest. Melgar,

; Barbee v. Big River Steel, LLC,

, 1027 n.1 (8th Cir. 2019). The complaint will be dismissed with prejudice. So Ordered.
