ORDER

VIRGINIA M. HERNANDEZ COVINGTON, District Judge.

This matter is before the Court pursuant to the parties' Joint Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement and to Dismiss the Case With Prejudice (Doc. # 14), filed on July 1, 2014. The Court grants the Motion.

I. Background

On February 28, 2014, Plaintiff Marel Mayfield, a former employee of Defendant Corizon Health, Inc., filed a Fair Labor Standards Act Complaint seeking overtime pay. (Doc. # 1). The Court issued its FLSA Scheduling Order (Doc. # 5) on April 18, 2014. Defendant filed its answer and affirmative defenses (Doc. # 6) on April 30, 2014. On June 5, 2014, Defendant notified the Court that the parties reached a settlement. (Doc. # 12). The parties request Court approval of the settlement reached and seek the dismissal of the action with prejudice. (Doc. # 14).

II. Analysis

Plaintiff alleges that the Defendant violated the terms of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Accordingly, any settlement reached between the parties is subject to judicial scrutiny. See Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1353 (11th Cir. 1982). The parties have reached a settlement wherein it is agreed that Plaintiff will receive $2,500.00 in unpaid wages as well as $2,500.00 in liquidated damages and Plaintiff's counsel will receive $2,819.00 in attorneys' fees and costs.

In the Motion, the parties represent that the attorneys' fees to be paid to Plaintiff's counsel were negotiated by the parties separately from the amount to be paid to Plaintiff for FLSA overtime violations. (Doc. # 14 at 4). Pursuant to Bonetti v. Embarq Management Company, 715 F.Supp.2d 1222, 1228 (M.D. Fla. 2009) and other governing law, the Court approves the compromise reached by the parties in an effort to amicably settle this case.1 The settlement is fair on its face and represents a reasonable compromise of the parties' dispute. The Court dismisses the case with prejudice.

Accordingly, it is

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED:

DONE and ORDERED.
