ELECTRONICALLY FILED UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DOC #: SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DATE FILED: 9/20/2024. Jasmin Dzogovic, Plaintiff, 1:23-cv-08897 (SDA) -against- ORDER La Grande Boucherie LLC, The Group US Management LLC and Emil Stefkov Defendants.

STEWART D. AARON, United States Magistrate Judge: This case contains one or more claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Following a settlement conference with the undersigned on September 17, 2024, the parties reached a settlement in principle. The parties thereafter consented to have all proceedings held before me. (See ECF No. 89.) In light of the requirements of Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc.,

(2d Cir. 2015), the parties must file a joint letter or motion that addresses whether the settlement is fair and reasonable. Any such letter or motion shall be filed by Friday, October 4, 2024, and should address the claims and defenses, Defendants’ potential monetary exposure and the bases for any such calculations, the strengths and weaknesses of Plaintiff's case and Defendants’ defenses, any other factors that justify the discrepancy between the potential value of Plaintiff's claims and the settlement amount, the litigation and negotiation process, as well as any other issues that might be pertinent to the question of whether the settlement is reasonable (for example, the collectability of any judgment if the case went to trial). The joint letter or motion should also explain the attorney fee arrangement, attach a copy

of the retainer agreement, and provide information as to actual attorney’s fees expended and the relevant experience of the attorney(s). Finally, a copy of the settlement agreement itself must accompany the joint letter or motion. SO ORDERED. Dated: New York, New York September 20, 2024
