ORDER
GREGORY A. PRESNELL, District Judge.
Upon consideration of the Parties' Joint Objection (Doc. 30) to the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Spaulding (Doc. 29), it is
ORDERED that said Objection is SUSTAINED. Upon review, the Court concludes that the settlement is a fair and reasonable compromise negotiated at arms length by competent counsel. Although the fee paid to Plaintiff's counsel was not separately determined, Bonetti v. Embarq Mgmt. Co., 715 F.Supp.2d 1222, 1225 (M.D. Fla. 2009), it appears to be reasonable and acceptable to Defendant's counsel. With respect to the release, the Court reads the release to be limited to wage-related claims under the FLSA or Florida Constitution. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that:
1. The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. 29) is REJECTED;
2. The Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement (Doc. 28) is GRANTED, and the Settlement Agreement is APPROVED;
3. This Action is DISMISSED with prejudice and the Clerk is directed to close the file. The Court declines to exercise continuing jurisdiction over this case.
DONE and ORDERED.
