The detailed version
- Antetokounmpo v. Sportsmarketsusa Corporation · No. 1:20-cv-03615
- Valerie Caproni
- July 2, 2020
Background
On July 1, 2020, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or the terms of that agreement.
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 was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
The parties were permitted to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. The application had to show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement, and a late application or one without a showing of good cause could be denied on that basis. 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 jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
Result
Judge Valerie Caproni entered the dismissal and related orders on July 2, 2020. The opinion does not state whether the parties later sought to reopen the case or asked the court to retain jurisdiction.
