Background
The court was informed that Fahrueldin Ebed and defendants Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital, Rightsourcing, Inc., and AMN Allied Services, LLC doing business as Med Travelers, had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues.

Court’s Action
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.
Possible Reopening and Enforcement
The parties could apply to reopen the case within 30 days of the order. The application had to show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the settlement, and a late application or one without a showing of good cause could be denied on that basis. The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement, they had to submit the agreement and request an order expressly retaining jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
