OPINION AND ORDER

JOHN E. STEELE, District Judge.

This matter is before the Court on consideration of the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. #11), filed May 22, 2019, recommending that the Joint Motion for Entry of Order Approving Settlement and Dismissing Case With Prejudice (Doc. #10) be granted in part and denied in part such that the settlement be approved but the request to retain jurisdiction be denied. It is further recommended that the case be dismissed. No objections have been filed and the time to do so has expired.

After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject or modify the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F.2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1112 (1983). In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district judge reviews legal conclusions de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See Cooper-Houston v. Southern Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994); Castro Bobadilla v. Reno, 826 F.Supp. 1428, 1431-32 (S.D. Fla. 1993), aff'd, 28 F.3d 116 (11th Cir. 1994) (Table).

After conducting an independent examination of the file and upon due consideration of the Report and Recommendation, the Court accepts the Report and Recommendation of the magistrate judge, including the recommendation that the Court not retain jurisdiction over enforcement of the settlement agreement.

Accordingly, it is now

ORDERED:

1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. #11) is hereby adopted and the findings incorporated herein.

2. The parties' Joint Motion for Entry of Order Approving Settlement and Dismissing Case With Prejudice (Doc. #10) is granted in part and denied in part. The Settlement Agreement and Release of FLSA Claims (Doc. #10-1) is approved as a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute, except that the Court declines to retain jurisdiction over its enforcement.

3. The Clerk shall enter judgment dismissing the case with prejudice, terminate all deadlines and motions, and close the file.

DONE and ORDERED.
