The R&R concerns the parties’ joint motion for settlement approval, ECF No. 25. Judge Goodman recommends I find the parties’ settlement agreement to be fair and reasonable and approve the settlement. Judge Goodman also recommends the action be dismissed with prejudice and this Court retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Parties’ settlement.

United States, 679 F.2d 1350 (11th Cir. 1982), I find Judge Goodman’s Report clear, cogent, and compelling. Accordingly, Judge Goodman’s R&R is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as Order of this Court. It is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The parties’ joint motion to approve settlement agreement, ECF No. 25, is GRANTED. 2. The parties’ settlement agreement is APPROVED. 3.
