Pilgreen v. Intimidator Inc

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

NORTHERN DIVISION

ROSS PILGREEN PLAINTIFF v. No. 3:20-cv-144-DPM

INTIMIDATOR, INC., and

INTIMIDATOR SPECIAL VEHICLES

TEAM, LLC DEFENDANTS ORDER

The joint motion to approve the settlement, Doc. 26, is 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 n.1 (8th Cir. 2019); Melgar v. OK Foods, 902 F.3d 775, 779 (8th Cir. 2018). It reflects a good-faith compromise of contested overtime compensation issues. And the attorney’s fee was negotiated separately, after the parties had settled the wage claims. Compare Doc. 26 at { 8, with Vines v. Welspun Pipes Inc., 2021 WL 3640219 (8th Cir. 18 August 2021). The Court will dismiss Pilgreen’s complaint with prejudice.
