PAPERLESS ORDER REQUIRING JOINT STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL AND ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSING CASE. THIS MATTER is before the Court on the notice indicating that Defendants have reached a settlement in their underlying case, which is likely to moot this interpleader case when approved by the court presiding over that case in 60-90 days. (DE #19 .) Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that on or before November 3, 2025, the Parties shall file a joint stipulation of dismissal. If the Parties require an extension of time to file their joint stipulation of dismissal, they must move for an extension in compliance with the Court's Practices and Procedures. If the Parties wish for the Court to retain jurisdiction beyond the filing of their joint stipulation for enforcement of any settlement agreement between the Parties, they are advised that they must file the settlement agreement for review and any stipulation must comply with the Eleventh Circuit's holding in Anago Franchising, Inc. v. Shaz, LLC, 677 F.3d 1272 (11th Cir. 2012). Otherwise, the dismissal of this matter is effective and self-executing upon the filing of the Parties' joint stipulation of dismissal. Id. All pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT. All hearings, trial settings, and deadlines are CANCELED. This case is CLOSED for administrative purposes. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 9/4/2025.
