Date: June 14, 1999
Case No.: 1999-STA-1
In the Matter of:
Raymond Brault,
Complainant,
v.
Connecticut Valley Block Company,
Respondent.
This case arises under the employee protection provisions of Section 405 of the Surface Transportation Act (STAA) 49 U.S.C. § 31105. On June 14, 1999, the parties submitted an executed a Release and Settlement of claim in final disposition of the case. (The stipulation of settlement is attached hereto and marked as "Exhibit A".) I pause to note that this settlement was executed on January 9, 1999, and that Respondent tendered a check to Complainant in the amount of $2,000.00. A fully executed settlement, however, was not received by this Court until June 14, 1999, thus explaining the delay in the final disposition of this matter.
This Administrative Law Judge, having reviewed the Settlement Agreement, concludes that this settlement agreement is a fair, adequate and reasonable settlement of the complaint and it is therefore ORDERED that the settlement agreement shall be, and the same hereby is APPROVED pursuant to the provisions of 29 C.F.R. §1978.111(d)(2), and that this case is hereby DISMISSED with Prejudice.
