Date Filed Document Text
November 28, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 19 ENDORSED ORDER: The parties have filed a joint notice of settlement and request to stay proceedings. (Doc. #17). The Court declines to stay the case. Instead, based on the notice of settlement and Local Rule 3.09(b), this cause is hereby dismissed, without prejudice and subject to the right of the parties, within 90 days of the date hereof, to submit a stipulated form of final order or judgment, or request an extension of time, should they so choose or for any party to move to reopen the action, upon good cause being shown. After that 90-day period, however, without further order, this dismissal shall be deemed with prejudice. Furthermore, the Court advises the parties that "good cause" exists to reopen an action when a settlement agreement has yet to be finalized because of various delays. But incomplete performance of an executed settlement agreement, such as the failure to disburse settlement funds, does not constitute good cause to reopen an action. This Court does not retain jurisdiction to ensure performance of a settlement agreement or consent judgment because such failure to perform should be addressed in a separate breach of contract action. The Clerk is directed to terminate any previously scheduled deadlines and thereafter close this case. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 11/28/2023. (JAK)
