ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION This matter is before the Court on consideration of the report and recommendation of Christopher P. Tuite, United States Magistrate Judge, entered on June 24, 2020. (Doc. 33). Judge Tuite recommends that the “Renewed Joint Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement” (Doc. 32) be granted. After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject, or modify the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.

(b)(1); Williams v. Wainwright,

(11th Cir. 1982). In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn,

, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations.

(b)(1)(C). The district judge reviews legal conclusions de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry. Co.,

(11th Cir. 1994); Castro Bobadilla v. Reno,

, 1431- 32 (S.D. Fla. 1993), aff’d,

(11th Cir. 1994) (table). Upon due consideration of the record, including Judge Tuite’s report and recommendation, the Court adopts the report and recommendation and grants the motion to approve settlement. The Court specifically finds that the proposed settlement agreement is a fair and reasonable resolution of the parties’ bona fide disputes regarding Plaintiffs FLSA claims. See Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United States,

, 1354 (11th Cir. 1982).
