SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Nanette Nichols and Defendant Laboratory Corporation of America's Joint Report Regarding Settlement (Doc. #24) filed on May 6, 2014. The parties request a settlement conference before a United States Magistrate Judge and have effectively consented to the Magistrate Judge's authority to approve any settlement as a "fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute" over FLSA issues without additional filings made by the parties.2 (Doc. #12, Doc. #24); see also Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1354-55 (11th Cir. 1982). Since Plaintiff and Defendant are open to settlement negotiations, the Court finds that a settlement conference may be beneficial to resolving this matter.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
This case is referred to the Honorable Magistrate Judge Carol Mirando to conduct a settlement conference and to enter any related Orders as deemed appropriate.
DONE and ORDERED.
