This Court has reviewed the parties’ 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 the parties’ 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. As a result of the Court’s approval of the parties’ proposed settlement, this action is hereby discontinued with prejudice and without costs, provided, however, that, within 30 days of the date of this Order, if any aspect of written documentation of the settlement is not completed, then Plaintiff may apply by letter for the restoration of the action to the active calendar of the Court. 3.
