OPINION AND ORDER1

SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.

This matter comes before the Court on United States Magistrate Judge Mac R. McCoy's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 26) filed on September 6, 2019. Judge McCoy recommends granting the parties' Amended Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement Agreement (Doc. 24) as a "fair and reasonable solution of a bona fide dispute" of the FLSA issues and denying the parties' request to reserve jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement. No objections have been filed and the time to do so has expired. Thus, the Report and Recommendation is ripe for review.

A district judge "may accept, reject, or modify in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district judge "shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." Id. And "[t]he judge may also receive further evidence or recommit the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions." Id.

After examining the file independently, and upon considering Judge McCoy's findings and recommendations, the Court accepts and adopts the Report and Recommendation.

Accordingly, it is now

ORDERED:

(1) The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 26) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED and the findings incorporated herein.

(2) The Amended Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement Agreement (Doc. 24) is GRANTED. The Joint Motion is granted to the extent that the Settlement Agreement (Doc. 24-1) is APPROVED as a "fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute" of the parties' FLSA issues.

(3) The above-captioned case is DISMISSED with prejudice.

(4) The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment, terminate any pending motions and deadlines, and close the file.

DONE and ORDERED.
