Because the case was brought pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the parties are required to provide the Court with sufficient information regarding the settlement in order for the Court to determine whether the settlement is a "fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute" over FLSA issues. Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1354-55 (11th Cir. 1982). Therefore, the Court directs the parties to submit the settlement information for review.

See Boneti v. Embarq management Co., 2009 WL 2371407 (M.D. Fla. August 4, 2009).
