UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

ORLANDO DIVISION

L.P.; and N.C.,

Plaintiffs,

v. Case No. 6:19-cv-2308-Orl-37GJK

SCHOOL BOARD OF BREVARD

COUNTY,

Defendant.

Plaintiff L.P, a minor, and his mother sued Defendant for violation of Title IX,

negligence, and loss of consortium. (Doc. 9.) The parties moved for approval of their

settlement agreement as it resolves a minor’s claims. (Doc. 35 (“Motion”).) A Guardian

Ad Litem was appointed for L.P., who reviewed the settlement and recommends the

Court approve the settlement as being in the best interests of L.P. (Doc. 36.) On referral,

U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory J. Kelly recommends granting the Motion and approving

the agreement, finding it in L.P.’s best interests. (Doc. 37 (“R&R”).)

The parties do not object to the R&R (Doc. 38), so the Court has examined it only

for clear error. See Wiand v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. 8:12-cv-557-T-27EAJ,

2016 WL 355490, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 28, 2016); see also Macort v. Prem, Inc.,

208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is adopted in its entirety.

It is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:

1. U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory J. Kelly’s Report and Recommendation

-1-

(Doc. 37) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order.

2. The parties’ Unopposed Petition for Approval of Settlement of Claim of

Minor (Doc. 35) is GRANTED.

3. The parties’ Release and Indemnification Agreement (Doc. 35, pp. 7-11) is

APPROVED.

4. This case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

5. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file.

DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on December 3, 2020.
