Background
The court was notified on June 24, 2024, that the parties had reached an agreement through mediation resolving all issues in the case.
Order
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 of Court was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
The parties were permitted to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Such an application had to show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement. A request filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause could be denied on that basis alone.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain 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
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs, including attorneys’ fees, to either party, and directed that the case be closed.
