Background
The caption identifies Linda Slade as the plaintiff, individually and as the representative of a class of similarly situated persons, and Glamsquad, Inc. as the defendant. The parties notified the court on January 2, 2020, that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues.
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.
The order allowed the parties to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Such an application had to show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the parties’ settlement. The court stated that a request filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause could be denied solely on that basis.
The order also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce their settlement agreement, they had to submit the agreement and request an order expressly retaining jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
Disposition
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case with prejudice and directed that it be closed. The order did not decide the underlying claims on their merits.
