Background
The parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues in the case.
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 allows the parties to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Any such application must show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement. The order states that a request filed after 30 days, or filed without a showing of good cause, may be denied on that basis alone.
The court also explained that, if the parties want the court to retain authority to enforce their settlement agreement, they must submit the agreement under Rule 6.A of the court’s Individual Practices 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 directed that the case be closed.
