UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC MANLEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE HERSHEY COMPANY,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-04915-KAW 

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR 

APPROVAL OF FLSA SETTLEMENT 

On February 2, 2015, Plaintiff Eric Manley filed an unopposed motion for approval of the 

settlement of his claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), as well as his claims for 

state wage and hour violations under New York and Connecticut law. The parties have consented 

to jurisdiction of the Court for all purposes, and Defendant The Hershey Company does not 

oppose the motion. The terms of the proposed settlement are outlined in the Joint Stipulation of 

Settlement, which is attached as Exhibit A to Plaintiff’s motion. 

Having considered the Plaintiff’s motion and supporting documents, the Court GRANTS 

approval of the settlement. The Court finds that the settlement is a fair and reasonable 

compromise of a bona fide FLSA dispute.

Accordingly, this action is dismissed with prejudice and on the merits.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 3, 2015
