Background
The court was notified on May 28, 2020, by Magistrate Judge Moses that the parties had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The opinion does not provide the agreement’s terms.
Court’s orders
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 parties were permitted to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Any such application had to show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement. The court warned that a request filed after 30 days, or without a showing of good cause, could be denied on that basis alone.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain jurisdiction—the 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 dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs, terminated the open motions, and closed the case. The order preserved a limited 30-day process for seeking reopening or asking the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce the settlement.
