In addition to the partial final judgment, this court now enters judgment on the claims advanced by Ramon Campbell, dismissing them with prejudice based on the settlement between Campbell and the City of Houston. 4. This final judgment incorporates all other opinions issued by the court during the pendency of this litigation, subject to the parties' rights of appeal and to any remand proceedings required by an appellate court. In the event of any subsequent dispute among the parties as to any of the matters resolved by this final judgment, this case will upon motion be reinstated on this court's docket as an active case, until such matters are resolved. 5. This court will retain jurisdiction over this matter for the purpose and enforcement of this Order.
