Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA OCALA DIVISION JOSEPH A. RODRIGUEZ, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 5:25-cv-488-RBD-PRL TRULIEVE, INC., Defendant. ____________________________________ ORDER In this Fair Labor Standards Act case, the parties moved for approval of their settlement agreement (Doc. 23-1 (“Agreement”)). (Doc. 23 (“Motion”).) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Philip R. Lammens entered a Report and Recommendation stating that the Court should grant the Motion. (Doc. 24 (“R&R”).) The parties jointly filed a Notice of Non-Objection (Doc. 25), so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is due to be adopted in its entirety.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. The R&R (Doc. 24) is ADOPTED AND CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order in its entirety.

2. The Motion (Doc. 23) is GRANTED.

3. The Agreement (Doc. 23-1) is APPROVED as fair and reasonable.

4, This case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. The Court declines to retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Agreement.

5. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file.

DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on February 23, 2026.
