I.

This lawsuit was filed as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Dkt.1) On October 24, 2013, the Parties participated in an Early Neutral Evaluation ("ENE") session with evaluator Eric Grover (Dkt. No. 35). After the ENE, the Parties engaged in settlement talks regarding the possibility of resolving this case. On December 18, 2013 the Parties announced to the Court that they had settled this case.

On Friday, March 21, 2014, the Parties filed their Joint Status Report to the Court. (Dkt. 43) As noted in the status report, the Parties are finalizing the terms of their agreement. They have exchanged drafts of the settlement paperwork and are close to finalizing them. The Parties have also exchanged drafts of the joint motion for approval of the settlement. The Parties believe that they will finalize the terms of their settlement within 45 days and respectfully request that the Court continue the current case management conference for a date in May 2014. The Parties will then seek Court approval of the settlement that has been reached.
