This matter is before the Court on consideration of the report and recommendation of Natalie Hirt Adams, United States Magistrate Judge, entered on January 22, 2025. (Doc. 31). Judge Adams recommends that the “Joint Motion for Approval of the Parties’ Settlement and For Dismissal With Prejudice” (Doc. 29) be granted. No party has objected, and the time to object has expired. 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.
