HONORATO DE LEON,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHECKPOINT TECHNOLOGIES LLC,

Defendant.

Case No.15-cv-02655-NC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 9

Plaintiff Honorato De Leon filed a notice of settlement regarding this wage and 

hour case brought under the Fair Labor Standard Act, California state labor laws, and 

California’s Unfair Competition Law. Dkt. Nos. 9 (Notice of Settlement), 1 (Complaint). 

De Leon states that he settled this matter with defendants and that a request of dismissal 

will be filed within 30 days. Dkt. No. 9. 

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

5. The parties must file their response to this Order within 14 days.

Additionally, this Court ordered the parties to file a consent or declination to

declination form by August 12, 2015.
