Alvarez v. Restaurant 101 Inc.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

JACQUELINE ALVAREZ and ANGELINA ALMONTE, Plaintiffs, 21 Civ. 6133 (PAE) (SLC) -v- ORDER RESTAURANT 101 INC. d/b/a DYCKMAN EXPRESS RESTAURANT ET AL, Defendants.

PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge: On May 6, 2022, the parties reached agreement on all issues in court-order mediation.

See Dkt. 43. However, because this case is a wage-and-hour case brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Court must review the settlement by the parties under Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2015).

The parties are therefore directed to submit their proposed settlement for review by May 31, 2022, along with a memorandum of law explaining why the settlement warrants approval under Cheeks.

The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to reopen this case.

SO ORDERED.
