Background
On April 4, 2023, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues in the case.
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 of Court was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
The order allowed the parties to apply within 30 days to reopen the case. Any such request had to show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement, and a late request or one lacking a showing of good cause could be denied on that basis alone. The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain jurisdiction—legal authority—to enforce their settlement agreement, they had to submit the agreement and request an order expressly retaining that authority within the same 30-day period.
