Background
On May 12, 2022, Tangle, Inc. and AME & RAY Co LLC notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues.
Ruling
The court ordered that the case be dismissed with prejudice and without costs, including attorneys’ fees, as to AME & RAY Co LLC. “With prejudice” means that this dismissal bars refiling the same matter against that defendant. The clerk was directed to terminate AME & RAY Co LLC on the docket.
The parties may apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Any such application must show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement and must be filed within that period. A late request, or one without a showing of good cause, may be denied solely for that reason.
If the parties want the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, continuing authority—to enforce their settlement agreement, they must, within the same 30-day period, submit the agreement under Rule 6.A of the court’s Individual Practices and request an order expressly retaining that authority.
Effect of the Order
The order resolves the matter as to AME & RAY Co LLC through settlement-related dismissal. The opinion does not state what happened to the other defendants identified on Schedule A.
