Background
On October 27, 2022, Migir Ilganayev and United Airlines, Inc. notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The opinion does not describe the claims or the terms of the agreement.
Court’s 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 was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
The order allowed the parties to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Any such application had to show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the parties’ settlement. The court warned that an application filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause could be denied solely on that basis.
The parties could also ask the court to retain jurisdiction—meaning authority to enforce the settlement agreement—but only if, within the same 30-day period, they submitted the settlement agreement in accordance with the court’s individual practices and requested an order expressly retaining that jurisdiction.
Disposition
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs to either party, canceled the scheduled conferences and deadlines, terminated the open motions, and directed that the case be closed. The order separately provided a 30-day process for seeking reopening or continued authority to enforce the settlement agreement.
