ORDER: (1) CONDITIONALLY DISMISSING THIS CASE; AND (2) TERMINATING THIS CASE ON THE DOCKET ______________________________________________________________________________

The parties in this case, brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), have reportedly settled their dispute subject to the Court’s approval of their settlement agreement. However, after the parties entered into their settlement agreement, the Court determined—in another FLSA case—“district courts do not have authority to reject or approve FLSA settlements, based on the text of the statute itself and precedent established in the Supreme Court and the Sixth Circuit.” Cummins v. Midmark Corp., No. 3:23-cv-277,

Accordingly, this case is hereby DISMISSED, with prejudice as to all parties, provided that any party may, within thirty (30) days, file a motion to reopen the action if any matters remain pending or unresolved, and the case is terminated on the docket. IT IS SO ORDERED. October 8, 2024 s/Michael J. Newman Hon. Michael J. Newman United States District Judge
