February 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 52 ORDER Approving SETTLEMENT AND DISMISSING CASE: The Court assisted in mediating the settlement of this action and has carefully reviewed the Settlement Agreement as well as the parties' letter. The Court has taken into account, wit hout limitation, prior proceedings in this action; the attendant risks, burdens, and costs associated with continuing the action; the range of possible recovery; whether the Settlement Agreement is the product of arms length bargaining between experienced counsel or parties; the amount of attorney's fees; and the possibility of fraud or collusion. Among other attributes of the Settlement Agreement, there are no confidentiality or non- disparagement provisions; the release is narrowly tailored to wage and hour claims; and the attorneys fees are within a fair, reasonable, and acceptable range. Considering all the circumstances, the Court finds that the Settlement Agreement is fair and reasonable and h ereby approved. This case, having resolved by settlement, is hereby dismissed and discontinued in its entirety, with prejudice, without costs or fees to any party, except as provided for in the parties' settlement agreement. The Clerk of Court is respectfully requested to terminate all motions and deadlines, and close this case. So Ordered (Signed by Magistrate Judge Robert W.
