ORDER

In light of the joint motion for approval of

settlements (doc. no. 76), in which plaintiff’s counsel

concedes that his claims are due to be dismissed with

prejudice, and in light of the oral representations of

plaintiff’s counsel at the pretrial conference that

Shuttlesworth’s claims are due to be dismissed, the court

concludes that the claims of Shuttlesworth are due to be

dismissed. Indeed, defendant Fred’s Stores of Tennessee,

Inc. has presented unrebutted evidence that Shuttlesworth

Case 2:04-cv-01186-MHT-SRW Document 78 Filed 03/28/06 Page 1 of 2
was a manager during his period of employment with Fred’s

Stores, which would exempt him from the wage-and-hour

protections of the FLSA. 

Accordingly, it is the ORDER, JUDGMENT, and DECREE of

the court that the claims of plaintiff Randall

Shuttlesworth are dismissed with prejudice.

DONE, this the 28th day of March, 2006.
