JEREMIAH C. LYNCH, Magistrate Judge.
On June 19, 2018, the parties filed their consent to the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge's authority over this lawsuit as provided in 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). Therefore, the Court's Findings and Recommendation entered June 18, 2018 is WITHDRAWN.
Further, based upon the parties' revised Class Action Settlement Agreement (doc. 1542 at 10-23), the parties' Joint Motion for Final Approval of Revised Class Action Settlement, and the hearing conducted on June 8, 2018, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The objections (doc. 1548) to the Class Action Settlement Agreement filed in this case are overruled;
2. Judgment is entered in accordance with the Class Action Settlement Agreement signed by the parties on February 23, 2018, and the settlement reflected therein is given final approval;
3. If necessary, the Court will appoint a Special Master pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 53(a)(1)(B) to address unresolved fees and expense issues;
4. The Settlement Agreement satisfies the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 3626(a)(1)(A) in that it is narrowly drawn, extends no further than necessary to correct the violation of the federal right, and is the least intrusive means necessary to correct the violation of the federal right of Plaintiffs; and
5. This Court retains jurisdiction over this matter for the sole purposes of:
a. if necessary, reviewing the Special Master's order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 53(±); and
