Background
On October 29, 2025, the court was notified that the parties had reached an agreement on all issues through the magistrate judge. The order does not state the underlying claims or describe the settlement’s terms.
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 of Court was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
Possibility of Reopening or Enforcing the Settlement
The parties may apply to reopen the case within 60 days of the order. Any such application must show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement. The order states that a request filed after 60 days, or without a showing of good cause, may be denied on that basis alone.
If the parties want the court to retain authority to enforce their settlement agreement, they must, within the same 60-day period, submit the settlement agreement under Rule 7.A of the court’s Individual Practices and request an order expressly retaining that authority.
Disposition
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case with prejudice, canceled the deadlines and conferences, terminated the open motions, and directed that the case be closed.
