ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
ROSLYNN R. MAUSKOPF, District Judge.
By letter filed February 5, 2016, plaintiffs requested that the Court approve the parties' settlement of Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") claims as fair and reasonable. (Doc. No. 82); see Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199, 206 (2d Cir. 2015) ("[S]tipulated dismissals settling FLSA claims with prejudice require the approval of the district court.") On February 9, 2016, Magistrate Judge Steven M. Gold issued a Report and Recommendation (the "R&R") recommending that the parties' Settlement Agreement, (Doc. No. 82-1), be approved and the case be dismissed with prejudice. (Doc. No. 83.) Judge Gold reminded the parties that, pursuant to Rule 72(b), any objection to the R&R must be filed by February 26, 2016. No party has filed any objections to date.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, the Court has reviewed the R&R for clear error and, finding none, concurs with the R&R in its entirety. See Covey v. Simonton, 481 F.Supp.2d 224, 226 (E.D.N.Y. 2007). Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that the parties' Settlement Agreement is approved and the case is dismissed with prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
