What happened
In Ilganayev v. United Airlines, the parties told the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The order does not describe the agreement’s terms.
The court canceled all previously scheduled conferences and deadlines. It dismissed the case with prejudice and ordered that neither party pay costs or attorneys’ fees. The clerk was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
Judge Caproni allowed the parties to apply to reopen the case within 30 days if they show good cause. If they want the court to retain authority to enforce their agreement, they must also submit the agreement and request that authority within the same 30-day period.

Background
On October 27, 2022, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The order does not provide the terms of that 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 parties may apply to reopen the case within 30 days of the order. Any such application must show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the parties’ settlement and must be filed within that period. A request filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause may be denied on that basis alone.
The order also states that, if the parties want the court to retain jurisdiction—the court’s authority—to enforce their settlement agreement, they must submit the agreement under Rule 7.A of the court’s Individual Practices and request an order expressly retaining that jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
Disposition
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs or attorneys’ fees to either party, terminated the open motions, and closed the case. The order did not decide the underlying dispute on its merits.
