MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

DEATON, United States Magistrate Judge.

This matter comes before the Court upon a Motion for Contempt and/ or to Enforce Settlement Agreement filed by Plaintiff Bill Carman on June 4, 2001 . On January 3, 2000, a Stipulation of Dismissal was filed by the parties. The case was then closed. The Court did not retain jurisdiction to enforce a settlement agreement, and no agreement was made a part of the Court file. The Court did not enter a judgment in this cause.

There is presently no jurisdiction over the parties, and the Court does not have the power to enforce the settlement agreement which was made a part of the instant motion.

WHEREFORE,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs Motion for Contempt and/or to Enforce Settlement Agreement [docket no. 18] be, and it is hereby, DENIED.
