Martin v. Mechanical One, LLC and Redphone Management, LLC

Summary

The court approves the parties’ Fair Labor Standards Act settlement because the plaintiff will receive full compensation for her FLSA claim and counsel’s fees were negotiated separately. The court declines to retain jurisdiction to enforce the settlement, dismisses the case with prejudice, terminates all deadlines and hearings, and directs the clerk to close the file.
