Background
The court was notified that the parties had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues during a settlement conference before Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn.
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 order permits the parties, within 30 days, to apply to reopen the case. Any such application must show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement, and a late application or one without a showing of good cause may be denied on that basis alone. The parties may also ask the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce their settlement agreement by submitting the agreement and a request for an order expressly retaining jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
Disposition
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs. The order does not describe the parties’ underlying claims or decide their merits.
