Background
On August 16, 2022, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The opinion does not describe the agreement’s terms or the underlying claims.
Court’s action
The court ordered that all previously scheduled conferences and other deadlines were canceled. 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 or enforcement
The parties may apply within 30 days to reopen the case. The application must show good cause for holding the case open in light of the settlement, and an application filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause may be denied on that basis. If the parties want the court to retain jurisdiction—continuing authority—to enforce the settlement agreement, they must submit the agreement and request an order retaining jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
Disposition
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs to either party, and directed that the case be closed.
