After careful consideration of the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, in conjunction with an independent examination of the court file, the Court is of the opinion that the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation should be adopted, confirmed, and approved in all respects.

See Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1355 (11th Cir. 1982); 29 U.S.C. § 216.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED:

1. The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. 21) is adopted, confirmed, and approved in all respects and is made a part of this order for all purposes, including appellate review. 2. The Joint Motion to Approve Settlement (Doc. 20) is GRANTED. The Settlement Agreement (Doc. 20, Ex. 1) is APPROVED, as it constitutes a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute 3. This action is DISMISSED, with prejudice. 4. The Clerk is directed to terminate any pending motions and deadlines and close this case.

DONE AND ORDERED.
