IN THE UNITED ST ATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

RAVEN WOODS PLAINTIFF 

v. No. 4:18-cv-639-DPM 

SHIV HOSPITALITY, LLC and 

FEROZ PATEL 

ORDER 

DEFENDANTS 

The joint motion to approve the settlement and dismiss, Doc. 23, 

1s granted. The agreement is a fair, reasonable, and adequate 

compromise of a good faith dispute. Lynn's Food Stores, Inc. v. United 

States, 679 F.2d 1350, 1353-54 (11th Cir. 1982); Melgar v. OK Foods, 

902 F.3d 775, 779 (8th Cir. 2018); Barbee v. Big River Steel, LLC, 

927 F.3d 1024, 1027 (8th Cir. 2019). Further, the attorney's fee was 

negotiated apart from the parties' settlement, removing any possibility 

of a conflict of interest between Woods and her lawyers. Melgar, 

902 F.3d at 779; Barbee, 927 F.3d at 1027 n.1. The Court will dismiss the 

case with prejudice. 

So Ordered.
