ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

THIS MATTER is before me upon the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) on FLSA Settlement of the Honorable Jonathan Goodman, U.S. Magistrate Judge, ECF No. 30. The R&R concerns the parties’ joint motion for settlement approval, ECF No. 24. Judge Goodman recommends I find the parties’ settlement agreement to be fair and reasonable and approve the settlement. Judge Goodman also recommends the action be dismissed with prejudice and this Court retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Parties’ settlement. Neither party objected to Judge Goodman’s R&R and the time to do so has passed. After reviewing the parties’ motion, Judge Goodman’s R&R, and the Settlement Agreement in accordance with Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350 (11th Cir. 1982), I find Judge Goodman’s Report clear, cogent, and compelling.

Accordingly, Judge Goodman’s R&R is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as Order of this Court. It is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The parties’ joint motion to approve settlement agreement, ECF No. 24, is GRANTED.

2. The parties’ settlement agreement is APPROVED.

3. This case is DISMISSED with prejudice.

4. This Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement. 5. The Court DENIES all pending motions as moot.

6. The Clerk shall ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this case.

DONE and ORDERED in chambers, at Miami, Florida, this 19" day of May 2021. Morea % Corks
