ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING

MOTION FOR APPROVAL

OF MINORS’ COMPROMISE

(Document 35)

On March 24, 2010, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations that

Recommendations were served on all parties and contained notice that any objections were to be

a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that

the Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations are supported by the record and proper

analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued March 24, 2010, are ADOPTED; 

2. Plaintiffs’ Request for Approval of Minors’ Compromise is GRANTED;
