Opinion of the Court

SCOTTY’S AUTOMOTIVES, INC. and SCOTT P. JANSON,

Defendants. /

ORDER1

Before the Court is the parties’ Notice of Settlement (Doc. 13) and Joint Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice (Doc. 14). Plaintiff sued Defendants for unpaid overtime wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). (Doc. 1). The parties settled the FLSA claims in full without compromise and with attorney’s fees negotiated separately. So the Court need not review and approve the settlement for fairness. See Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. U.S. Dep’t of Labor, 679 F. 2d 1350, 1352 (11th Cir. 1982); Bonetti v. Embarq Mgmt. Co., 715 F. Supp. 2d 1222, 1226 n.6 (M.D. Fla. 2009). Each party signed the Joint Stipulation, so the Court will dismiss this case with prejudice. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii); Anago Franchising, Inc. v. Shaz, LLC, 677 F. 3d 1272, 1278 (11th Cir. 2012). Accordingly, it is now ORDERED:
