This judgment applies to the following consolidated series of actions brought under the Federal Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq. ("FLSA"): Yvette Anderson et al. v.

Plaintiffs filed these actions against Defendant County of Ventura for its failure to pay overtime as mandated by the FLSA. The Joint Stipulation of Settlement and Release ("Stipulation of Settlement"), a copy of which is attached and expressly incorporated herein as Exhibit 1, was signed by all 137 Plaintiffs and Opt-In Class Members and Defendant County of Ventura. All parties were represented by experienced Counsel.

The Court, having carefully reviewed the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, hereby determines that the settlement is fair and reasonable, and in the public interest. The settling parties are directed to consummate the Settlement in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement.

The Court retains jurisdiction over these consolidated actions and the Parties for all matters relating to the administration, interpretation, effectuation or enforcement of the Stipulation of Settlement and this Final Judgment, including the award of attorneys' fees and costs.

All claims in the consolidated actions are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE pursuant to the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement.

The Court shall separately address the award of attorneys' fees and costs by separate motion to be filed by the parties.

The parties are first ordered to negotiate and attempt to reach a settlement regarding fees and costs.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
