The detailed version

Background
On April 17, 2024, the parties notified the court that the arbitration was resolved. The order also referred to the parties’ settlement.
Court’s Action
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 allows the parties to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Such an application must show good cause for keeping the case open in light of the parties’ settlement; a late request or one lacking a showing of good cause may be denied on that basis alone. The parties may also ask the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce their settlement agreement, but they must submit the agreement and a request for an order expressly retaining jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
