SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on consideration of United States Magistrate Judge Mac R. McCoy's Report and Recommendation (Doc. #44) filed on December 11, 2015. Judge McCoy recommends granting the parties' Joint Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement and Stipulation for Dismissal with Prejudice (Doc. #43) filed on December 9, 2015. The parties filed a Joint Notice of Non-Opposition to the Report and Recommendation (Doc. #45) on December 16, 2015. The matter is ripe for review.
A district judge "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). If no specific objections to findings of fact are filed, the district judge is not required to conduct a de novo review of those findings. See Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993). However, the district judge must review legal conclusions de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See Cooper-Houston v. Southern Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994)
After careful consideration of the Report and Recommendation and an independent review of the file, the Court adopts, accepts, and approves the Report and Recommendation.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. #44) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED and the findings are incorporated herein.
2. The parties' Joint Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement and Stipulation for Dismissal with Prejudice (Doc. #43) is GRANTED.
3. The Settlement Agreement and Mutual Full and Final Release of Claims (Doc. #43-1) is APPROVED as a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute of the FLSA issues presented in this action.
4. This action is DISMISSED with prejudice.
5. The Clerk is directed to terminate all pending motions and deadlines, enter judgment accordingly, and close the file.
DONE and ORDERED.
