IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

NORTHERN DIVISION 

CANDIE DEPRIEST, Individually and on 

Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated PLAINTIFF

v. No. 3:22-cv-65-DPM

THE LOGAN CENTERS, INC. DEFENDANT

ORDER

 Joint motion, Doc. 48, granted. The proposed settlement is fair, 

reasonable, and adequate. Lynn’s Food Stores, Inc. v. United States, 

679 F.2d 1350, 1353 (11th Cir. 1982); see also Barbee v. Big River Steel, LLC, 

927 F.3d 1024, 2027 (8th Cir. 2019); Melgar v. OK Foods, 902 F.3d 775, 

779 (8th Cir. 2018). It reflects a good-faith compromise of the parties’ 

wage-related dispute. And the parties are negotiating the attorney’s 

fees and costs separately. The complaint will be dismissed with 

prejudice in due course. The Court prefers to withhold Judgment until 

the fee-related issues are resolved. Any motion for costs and attorney’s 

fees due by 21 February 2025. 

So Ordered.
