Background
Yaseen Traynor, also identified as Yaseen Traylor, brought this case on behalf of himself and others similarly situated against Zija International, Inc. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims. On January 30, 2020, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues.
Court's 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 of Court was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
The parties were given 30 days to apply to reopen the case. Any such application had to show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the settlement and had to be filed within that 30-day period. The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, 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
The court dismissed the case with prejudice, terminated the open motions, and closed the case. The order was signed by Judge Valerie Caproni on January 31, 2020.
