 An employee’s claims under the FLSA are non-waivable, and thus may not be settled 2

without supervision of either the Secretary of Labor or a district court. See Yue Zhou v. Wang's

Restaurant, 2007 WL 172308 at * 1 (N.D.Cal. Jan 17, 2007); see also, Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc.

v. United States, et al., 679 F. 2d 1350, 1352-53 (11 Cir. 1982); and House Report No. 101-664. th

“House Report No. 101-664” refers to House Report No. 101-664, P.l. 101-433, Older Workers

Benefit Protection Act, H.R. Rep. 101-664, H.R. Rep. No. 664, 101st Cong., 2nd Sess. 1990,

1990 WL 200383 (1990). This report reflects congress’ continued intent that FLSA claims may

not be waived or compromised without supervision of either the Secretary of Labor or a district

court.

 The Court expresses no opinion as to the enforceability of any settlement conducted 3

without the approval of either the Secretary of Labor or the District Court.
