Background
The court received a final report from the mediator stating that the parties had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues after court-ordered mediation.
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 parties could apply within 30 days to reopen the case by showing good cause for keeping it open despite their settlement. The court also stated that, within the same 30-day period, the parties could ask the court to retain jurisdiction—the authority to enforce the settlement agreement—by submitting the agreement and a request for an order expressly retaining that authority. The opinion does not describe the settlement’s terms.
