Background
The parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement on all issues. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute or the terms of the agreement.
Order
The court canceled all previously scheduled conferences and other deadlines. It dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs, including attorney fees, to either party. The clerk was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
Possible Reopening and Enforcement
The parties could apply to reopen the case within 30 days, but the application had to show good cause for keeping the case open in light of their settlement. The order states that a request filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause could be denied on that basis alone.
If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, continuing authority—to enforce their settlement agreement, they had to submit the agreement under Rule 7.A of the court’s Individual Practices and request an order expressly retaining that authority, also within 30 days.
