   This case arises under the employee protection provisions of Section 405 of the Surface Transportation Act (STAA) 49 U.S.C.A §31105.

   Therefore, it is ORDERED that the Settlement Agreement, attached hereto and made a part hereof, is approved and this case is hereby DISMISSED with Prejudice.

    SO ORDERED.
