IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS CENTRAL DIVISION

SHAWN SMITH and JODY COTTONGIN, Each Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated PLAINTIFFS

v. No. 4:21-cv-232-DPM

PREMIER ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC. and SAM MCFADIN DEFENDANTS

ORDER The joint motion, Doc. 52, is granted. The proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. United States,

, 1353 (11th Cir. 1982); see also Barbee v. Big River Steel, LLC,

(8th Cir. 2019); Melgar v. OK Foods,

(8th Cir. 2018). It reflects a good-faith compromise of the parties’ wage-related dispute. And the attorney’s fee is unresolved; an opposed motion on that issue is under advisement. The complaint will be dismissed with prejudice after the fee-related issues are resolved. So Ordered.
