Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1354-55 (11th Cir. 1982).

The joint motion shall include a brief description of the terms of the settlement, the number of hours and lost wages originally claimed by the Plaintiff and whether or not the Plaintiff's claims were settled by compromise, as well as Plaintiff counsel's attorney's fees and costs and whether the fees and costs were negotiated separately from the FLSA claim.
