Nieves Romero Rivera v. Silver Star Cleaners Inc.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORE eeeeci ceed cient treet ener pet teem coer eneneenee ROMERO RIVERA, et al.

Plaintiffs, : 18. Civ, 4427 (PAC) -against- : ‘ ORDER SILVER STAR CLEANERS, INC., ef ai., : Defendants. : wane et ee eee eee een neceneneenee K The parties have submitted a revised settlement agreement in this Fair Labor Standards Act case. Pursuant to Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2015), the Court must determine whether the settlement is fair and reasonable.

The parties’ most recent version of the settlement agreement still includes a clause where the parties “agree to enter a Judgment on consent in the amount of $24,000.” ECF No. 59-1 at 2.

As the Court previously noted, the settlement agreement itself “is an enforceable contract, and as such, the judgment on consent is an unnecessary, duplicative measure taken by the parties.”

Opinion & Order, ECF No. 46 at 7. The parties are once again directed to strike this clause from their agreement.

Once re-executed and filed, the Court will approve the settlement agreement.
