STEVEN I. LOCKE, Magistrate Judge.
On March 9, 2017, Plaintiff Jian Guo Song, jointly with Defendants East Babylon Chinese Restaurant, Inc. d/b/a Eastern Babylon Chinese and Bo Ren, submitted a motion seeking approval of a Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") in this Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") action.1 See Docket Entry ("DE") [40]. The parties also submitted a Stipulation and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice, signed by counsel for all parties. See DE [40-1]. Having reviewed the parties' joint submission in support thereof, as well as the Settlement Agreement itself, 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.
