No. 4:22-cv-502-DPM

INDEPENDENT CASE MANAGEMENT, INC. DEFENDANT

ORDER
1. Stipulation, Doc. 26, noted. Terry Hayhurst, Stan Julich,
Pauline Lewis, and Georgann Smith’s claims are dismissed without
prejudice. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii).
2. The joint motion, Doc. 25, is granted as modified. The
proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. Lynn’s Food
Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1353 (11th Cir. 1982); see also
Barbee v. Big River Steel, LLC, 927 F.3d 1024, 1027 (8th Cir. 2019); Melgar
v. OK Foods, 902 F.3d 775, 779 (8th Cir. 2018). It reflects a good-faith
compromise of the parties’ wage-related dispute. And the parties are
negotiating the attorney’s fees and costs separately. The amended
complaint will be dismissed with prejudice in due course. But, the
Court prefers to withhold Judgment until the fee-related issues are
resolved. Any motion for costs and attorney’s fees due by 17 May 2024.
So Ordered.
