ORDER1
SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Marlene Egbanor and Defendants Otaal 3, Inc. and Ravneet Singh's Joint Response to Order (Doc. #26) filed on March 8, 2014.2 This matter was brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), 29 U.S.C. § 201m et seq., for recovery of unpaid overtime wages. (Doc. #1).
The parties have advised the Court that they have settled in this matter. (Doc. #24, 26). Plaintiff alleged Defendants owed her $3,945.60 in unpaid overtime under the two-year statute of limitations (Doc. #1), and she has accepted $4,000 as a settlement amount (Doc. #26). Since Plaintiff's FLSA claim was not compromised, the Court need not review the settlement for fairness. See Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United States Dep't of Labor, 679 F.2d 1350, 1352 (11th Cir. 1982); King v. My Online Neighborhood, Inc., No. 6:06-cv-435-Orl-22JGG, 2007 WL 737575, at *3 (M.D. Fla. Mar. 7, 2007) ("Where the employer offers the plaintiff full compensation on h[er] FLSA claim, no compromise is involved and judicial approval is not required.") (citation omitted). Therefore, the case is dismissed without need to approve the settlement.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1. Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. #1) is hereby DISMISSED with prejudice.
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly, terminate all previously scheduled deadlines and pending motions, and close the file.
DONE and ORDERED.
