ORDER

LEWIS J. LIMAN, United States District Judge:

The Court has received the proposed stipulation and order indicating that the parties have reached a settlement agreement and seeking to dismiss the action with prejudice and have the Court retain jurisdiction over the action to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement. Dkt. No. 34.

First, the parties have not moved to reopen the case after the Court's order dated October 28, 2021. Dkt. No. 33.

Second, the Court cannot retain jurisdiction to enforce a settlement that has not been publicly filed with the Court.

Prior to asking the Court to sign a stipulation with a request that the Court retain jurisdiction, one or the other party must move to reopen the case. If the parties desire the Court to retain jurisdiction to enforce a settlement, they must show cause why the settlement should not be publicly filed.

SO ORDERED.
