Fri 10/13 4:41 PM
Memorandum Opinion and Order . The Court approves in part the parties' joint oral motion for approval of settlement (including, in part, the attorney's fees and costs requested) (Doc. No. 48 ) and denies plaintiff's written motion for attorney's fees (Doc. No.27 ) as moot. The settlement agreement is modified to pay $500 to each plaintiff (as proposed by the parties) and $15,721.17 in attorney's fees and costs (as found reasonable by the Court) for a total of $16,721.17. The claims in plaintiffs' complaint are dismissed with prejudice, and this case is closed. The Court retains jurisdiction over this action to enforce the terms of the settlement.
