The court stated that, on October 29, 2025, it was notified that Noah Tomkinson and Univision Communications Inc. had reached an agreement on all issues through mediation. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or the settlement’s terms.
Court’s 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. It directed the Clerk of Court to terminate all open motions and close the case.
The order allows the parties to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Such an application must show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the settlement; a request filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause may be denied on that basis. The order also states that, if the parties want the court to retain authority to enforce their settlement agreement, they must submit the agreement and request an order expressly retaining that authority within the same 30-day period.
