Scott, et al v. City of New York, et al, No. 1:2002cv09530 - Document 322 (S.D.N.Y. 2009)

Court Description: MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER:#98379 Plaintiffs reasonably believe that the risk of losing on appeal with respect to decisions rendered in their favor by this Court outweighs any benefits that might be gained by an appellate victory. Because this case involves many questions of first impression - including the meal period issue - the outcome of the appeal is all the more difficult to predict. It is fair for the parties to forego their appeals and to settle on terms largely established by the jury. For the foregoing reasons, the Court approves the proposed settlement. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 12/21/2009) (jpo) Modified on 12/23/2009 (eef).
