Date Filed Document Text
May 12, 2017 Filing 51 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Pursuant to the parties' stipulation to dismiss #50 , this action is dismissed without prejudice pursuant to a settlement agreement, with each party bearing its own costs and fees. The dismissal will automatically convert to a dismissal with prejudice if no motion to reinstate is filed on or before October 14, 2017. Until the dismissal is converted to a dismissal with prejudice, the Court retains jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement. Lynch, Inc. v. SamataMason Inc., 279 F.3d 487, 489 (7th Cir. 2002); Natkin v. Winfrey, No. 99-5367, 2015 WL 8484511 (N.D. Ill. Dec. 8, 2015). The status hearing set for June 15, 2017 is stricken. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice. (dm, )
May 12, 2017 Filing 50 STIPULATION of Dismissal Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) (Underhill, Edward)
May 11, 2017 Filing 49 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: In the parties' Stipulation to Dismiss #48 , they request that the Court retain jurisdiction to enforce the parties' settlement agreement. However, pursuant to Seventh Circuit precedent, the district court retains jurisdiction to enforce a settlement agreement only if: 1) the action is dismissed without prejudice; or 2) the court enters an order incorporating the terms of the settlement agreement. See Natkin v. Winfrey, No. 99-5367, 2015 WL 8484511 (N.D. Ill. Dec. 8, 2015) (Castillo, C.J.); see also Lynch, Inc. v. SamataMason Inc., 279 F.3d 487, 489 (7th Cir. 2002) ("A settlement agreement, unless it is embodied in a consent decree or some other judicial order or unless jurisdiction to enforce the agreement is retained (meaning that the suit has not been dismissed with prejudice), is enforced just like any other contract."). Thus the parties should file a new stipulation either 1) dismissing the case without prejudice and specifying a date by which dismissal will automatically convert to a dismissal with prejudice if no motion to reinstate is filed or 2) dismissing with prejudice and specifically incorporating the terms of the settlement agreement, which should be attached to the stipulation. The status hearing set for 6/15/17 stands. The status hearing will be stricken if a new stipulation to dismiss is filed prior to that date. Mailed notice. (dm, )
