MARY KAY VYSKOCIL, United States District Judge: On April 21, 2020, Plaintiffs informed the Court that this case had been settled and submitted a letter and documentation supporting the fairness of the settlement [ECF No. 38]. The Court has reviewed these documents for fairness in accordance with the FLSA and Second Circuit law, see, e.g., Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House,

796 F.3d 199

(2d Cir. 2015), and has concluded that the terms are fair and reasonable. It should be noted, however, that the Court is not in this endorsement opining specifically on the reasonableness of the rates charged by the attorney representing Plaintiff. Accordingly, the settlement is approved, and the Court ORDERS that the case be dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate all pending motions, adjourn any remaining dates, and close this case.
