Defendants.
Plaintiff sued Defendants for failure to pay overtime wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). (See Doc. 1.) The parties moved for approval of their FLSA settlement agreement under Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. United States ex rel. United States Department of Labor,
679 F.2d 1350, 1355(11th Cir. 1982). (Doc. 25 (“Motion”); Doc. 25-1 (“Agreement”).) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie R. Hoffman recommends granting the Motion in part and approving the Agreement, finding it fair and reasonable. (Doc. 26 (“R&R”).) The parties do not object to the R&R (Doc. 27), so the Court has examined it only for clear error. See Wiand v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. 8:12-cv-557-T-27EAJ,
2016 WL 355490, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 28, 2016); see also Macort v. Prem, Inc.,
208 F. App’x 781, 784(11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is adopted in its entirety. It is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie R. Hoffman’s Report and Recommendation -1- (Doc. 26) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order. 2.
