Affinity Health Plan, Inc., the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit released a summary order affirming the district court's holding that the efforts of two plaintiffs who had opted out of a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) and class action under New York Labor Law (NYLL) are precluded from bringing individual claims by the parties' Joint Stipulation of Settlement and Release.
