Levi v. Fidel & Co Coffee LLC

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

JONATHAN LEVI PLAINTIFF No. 4:20-cv-1285-DPM

FIDEL & CO COFFEE, LLC, and

FIDEL SAMOUR DEFENDANTS ORDER

Joint motion, Doc, 18, granted. The proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1353 (11th Cir. 1982); see also Barbee v. Big River Steel, LLC, 927 F.3d 1024, 1027 (8th Cir. 2019); Melgar v. OK Foods, 902 F.3d 775, 779 (8th Cir. 2018). It reflects a good-faith compromise of a bona fide dispute over wages. And the attorney’s fee was negotiated after the merits were resolved and separately. The Court will dismiss the complaint with prejudice and retain jurisdiction until 1 October 2021 to enforce the settlement.

So Ordered. _WPr4ntoll fr
