Background
On February 7, 2020, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The order does not provide the settlement’s terms or explain the underlying claims.
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. The Clerk of Court was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
The parties were allowed to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Any such application had to show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the settlement, and 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, 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
Judge Valerie Caproni entered the dismissal and related directives. The order resolved the case based on the parties’ reported settlement rather than deciding the underlying claims.
