Hall v. Inmate Services Corporation

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS NORTHERN DIVISION

CHRISTINA HALL, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated PLAINTIFF

No. 3:18-cv-235-DPM

INMATE SERVICES CORPORATION; and RANDY CAGLE, JR. DEFENDANTS

DAVID DILLARD and NICOLAS WILLIAMS PLAINTIFFS

Vv. No. 2:19-cv-150-DPM

ORDER Joint motion, Doc. 90, granted. The proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1353 (11th Cir. 1982); see also Barbee v. Big River Steel, LLC, 927 F.3d 1024, 1027 (8th Cir. 2019); Melgar v. OK Foods, 902 F.3d 775,779 (8th Cir. 2018). It reflects a good-faith compromise of a particularly tangled dispute over wages. And the attorney’s fee was negotiated after the merits were resolved and separately. Compare Vines v. Welspun Pipes Inc., 2021 WL 3640219, at *3 (8th Cir. 18 August 2021). The Court will dismiss the complaint with prejudice and retain jurisdiction to enforce the settlement.

So Ordered.
