Background
On May 31, 2024, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or provide the terms of the agreement.
Court’s action
The court canceled all previously scheduled conferences and other deadlines. It dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs, including attorneys’ fees, to either party. The clerk was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
Reopening and settlement enforcement
Within 30 days, the parties could apply to reopen the case by showing good cause for keeping it open despite their settlement. The court stated that an application filed after 30 days, or filed without a showing of good cause, could be denied solely on that basis. If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, authority—to enforce their settlement agreement, they had to submit the agreement and request an order expressly retaining that authority within the same 30-day period.
Disposition
The case was dismissed with prejudice and without costs. The order did not decide the underlying claims on their merits; it disposed of the case based on the parties’ reported agreement in principle.
