DATE:  June 30, 1993
CASE NO. 93-ERA-13


IN THE MATTER OF

MARGARET BRAY,

          COMPLAINANT,

     v.

THE HOSPITAL CENTER AT
ORANGE,

          RESPONDENT.


BEFORE:  THE SECRETARY OF LABOR


                     FINAL ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT

     Before me for review is the Order Recommending Approval of
Settlement and Dismissal of Case (R.O.) of the Administrative Law
Judge (ALJ) in this case arising under the Energy Reorganization
Act of 1974, as amended (ERA), 42 U.S.C. § 5851 (1988).  The
ALJ recommended approval of the Settlement Agreement and General
Release submitted by the parties before him and dismissal of the
complaint with prejudice, finding the terms of the agreement to
be fair, adequate and reasonable.
     Upon careful review of the terms of the fully executed
Settlement Agreement and General Release, I find that the
conditions of the agreement are a fair, adequate and reasonable
settlement of Complainant's allegations that Respondent violated
the ERA.  
     Accordingly, I approve the settlement and the case is
dismissed with prejudice.  See Settlement Agreement
Paragraph 1.
          SO ORDERED.
