Court’s Order
Judge Valerie Caproni canceled all previously scheduled conferences and other deadlines. The court 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.
Within 30 days, the parties could apply to reopen the case by showing good cause for keeping it open in light of their settlement. The court stated that an application filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause could be denied on that basis alone. The parties could also ask the court to retain authority to enforce their settlement agreement, but they had to submit the agreement and a request for continued authority within the same 30-day period.
