November 6, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER: On November 5, 2023 Plaintiff submitted a notice of voluntary dismissal, seeking to dismiss this action against Defendants without prejudice under 41(a)(1)(A)(i). Dkt. No. 7. In Samake v. Thunder Lube, Inc., 24 F.4th 804, 807 (2d Cir. 2022), the Second Circuit concluded that the Court must evaluate voluntary dismissals of FLSA claims without prejudice under Rule 41(a)(1)(A) to ensure that they do not obscure a settlement. As a result, the Court cannot endorse Plaintiff's stipulation of dismissal in its current form without conducting appropriate diligence as mandated by the Second Circuit. The Court will accept a stipulation of dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) so long as the plaintiff certifies that there has been no settlement of FLSA claims. Counsel is directed to review the Second Circuit's opinion in Thunder Lube and to submit a sworn affidavit in support of the stipulation no later than November 9, 2023. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 11/6/2023) (rro)
