CASE NO. 2003-STA-0042
In the Matter of:
DALE PARKES,
Complainant,
v.
TRANSPORTATION CORP. OF AMERICA,
Respondent
FINAL ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT
This proceeding arises under Section 31105 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) of 1982 (49 U.S.C. § 31101) and the regulations promulgated thereunder [29 C.F.R. Part 1978 (1989)]. The parties, on May 27, 2004, filed a Settlement Agreement in accordance with 29 C.F.R. § 1978.111(d)(2). The Agreement resolves the controversy arising from the complaint of Dale Parkes under the statute.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Act and the implementing regulations, I have carefully reviewed the terms of the parties' Settlement Agreement, and I find that it constitutes a fair, adequate and reasonable settlement of the complaint.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
(1) the parties' Settlement Agreement is hereby approved; and
(2) the above-captioned complaint is hereby dismissed with prejudice.
