ZENAIDA BOSE, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

VIRGIL VALIN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.14-cv-04744-NC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 22

Plaintiff Zenaida Bose moves to dismiss with prejudice this wage and hour case 

brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the California Labor Code. Bose states 

that she settled this matter with defendants and that the parties signed a settlement 

agreement. Dkt. No. 22. Settlements of FLSA claims, however, require approval from the 

Court or the Secretary of Labor. Luo v. Zynga Inc., No. 13-cv-00186 NC, Dkt. No. 34, 

2014 WL 457742, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 31, 2014) (“A district court presented with a 

proposed settlement of FLSA claims must determine whether the settlement is a fair and 

reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute.”) (internal quotation marks and citation 

omitted). 

Accordingly, the parties are ordered to produce the settlement agreement and show 

cause why the Court should approve the settlement agreement and dismiss the case. The 

parties are further ordered either to file the settlement agreement publicly or else to show 

cause why the settlement agreement should be filed under seal under Civil Local Rule
