Background
On May 9, 2024, Nicole Craine and SergeAudio, Inc. notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues.
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 parties were permitted to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. Such an application had to show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement. The order stated that a request 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 jurisdiction—the court’s authority—to enforce their settlement agreement. To do so, they had to submit the settlement agreement and request an order expressly retaining jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
Disposition
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs, including attorneys’ fees, to either party, and directed that the case be closed.
