ORDER

On January 15, 2016, the parties submitted a joint motion for settlement approval in this Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") action. See Docket Entry ("DE") [24]. A hearing was held on the motion on March 17, 2016, where the Court denied the motion for settlement approval without prejudice. DE [25]. On May 16, 2016, Plaintiff submitted an attached revised Settlement Agreement. DE [28]. Having reviewed the revised Settlement Agreement, the Court finds that the Settlement Agreement's terms are fair and reasonable. See Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199, 206 (2d Cir. 2015); Wolinsky v. Scholastic Inc., 900 F.Supp.2d 332, 335 (S.D.N.Y. 2012) (requiring that a district court scrutinize an FLSA settlement agreement to determine that it is fair and reasonable). Therefore, the Settlement Agreement is approved and this case is hereby closed.

SO ORDERED.
