ORDER
STEVEN D. MERRYDAY, District Judge.
The parties move (Doc. 23) for approval of the settlement agreement in this action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. § 201. See Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350 (11th Cir. 1982). On July 10, 2012, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation (Doc. 24) on the "Joint Motion for Approval of Proposed Settlement Agreement" (Doc. 23). At a July 12, 2012, telephone conference the parties waived the fourteen-days within which to object to the report and recommendation.
Accordingly, upon consideration of the parties' filings and the magistrate judge's report and recommendation, the report and recommendation (Doc. 24) is adopted. Because the settlement constitutes a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide FLSA dispute, the motion is GRANTED, and the settlement agreement (Doc. 23-1) is APPROVED. Dees v. Hydradry, Inc., 706 F.Supp.2d 1227 (M.D. Fla. 2010). The action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and the Clerk is directed to close the case.
