Background
Joseph Guglielmo brought this case against Deep Sentinel Corp. on behalf of himself and others similarly situated. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims. On April 6, 2020, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues.
Ruling
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. Any such application had to show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the parties’ settlement. The order also stated that 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 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.
