Background
Lee, the plaintiff, informed the court that the parties had reached a settlement in principle, subject to completing a written agreement. Lee requested that the court stay, or pause, all current deadlines indefinitely so the parties could formalize the agreement and later file a joint dismissal with prejudice and materials for the court’s review.
Court’s Action
The court granted the request to stay the case. It directed the parties to file the proposed settlement and a joint memorandum of no more than 10 pages explaining why the settlement is fair and reasonable and addressing the concerns identified in Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc. The provided opinion text states that the materials must be filed “within 60” but is cut off before the remainder of the deadline appears.
Disposition and Effect
The order granted the stay request. It did not, in the provided text, approve the settlement or dismiss the case. Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr. also did not impose a dismissal with prejudice in this order; Lee’s letter described that as a later filing the parties intended to submit after completing the written settlement.
