Background
On June 12, 2023, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or the settlement’s terms.
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 parties may apply to reopen the case within 30 days, but the application must show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the settlement. The order states that a request filed after 30 days or without a showing of good cause may be denied on that basis alone. If the parties want the court to retain jurisdiction—meaning continuing authority—to enforce the settlement agreement, they must submit the agreement and request that the court expressly retain jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
