Background
On March 5, 2021, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues.
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 to reopen the case within 30 days. Such an application had to show good cause for holding the case open despite the settlement. The court stated that a request filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause could be denied on that basis alone.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce their settlement agreement, they had to submit the agreement and request an order expressly retaining jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
