KATHARINE H. PARKER, United States Magistrate Judge:
In this action under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor Law, which is
before this Court on the consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the parties,
having reached an agreement in principle to resolve the action, have placed their proposed
settlement agreement before this Court for approval. See Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House,
Inc., 796 F.3d 1999 (2d Cir. 2015) (requiring judicial fairness review of FLSA settlements).
Plaintiff has also submitted a letter detailing why he believes the proposed settlement
agreement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. (ECF No. 27.) This Court has reviewed Plaintiff's
submissions in order to determine whether the proposed agreement represents a reasonable
compromise of the claims asserted in this action, and, in light of the totality of the relevant
circumstances, including the representations made in Plaintiff’s letter and the terms of the
proposed settlement agreement, it is hereby ORDERED that:
1. The Court finds that the terms of the proposed settlement agreement are fair,
reasonable, and adequate, both to redress Plaintiff’s claims in this action and to compensate
Plaintiff's counsel for their legal fees, and the agreement is therefore approved.
2. In accordance with the parties’ request, this Court will retain jurisdiction over
this matter for the purpose of enforcing the settlement agreement, if necessary.
3. As a result of the Court’s approval of the parties’ proposed settlement, this
action is hereby discontinued with prejudice and without costs.
4. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case on the Docket of the Court.
