VICTORIA WRIGHT, Plaintiff, v. RESURGENT CAPITAL SERVICES, L.P., Defendant.
ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO ASSIGN A DISTRICT JUDGE TO THIS MATTER AND CLOSE THE CASE (DOC. 8)
SHEILA K. OBERTO, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
On April 7, 2023, the parties filed a joint stipulation dismissing the action with prejudice. (Doc. 8.) In light of the parties' stipulation, this action has been terminated, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997), and has been dismissed with prejudice. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court SHALL assign a district judge to this matter and thereafter CLOSE the case.
The parties' stipulation also provided that the Court “retain ancillary jurisdiction for enforcement of the Settlement Agreement between the Parties in its Order.” (See Doc. 8 at 2.) The Court in its discretion declines to adopt this portion of the stipulation. See Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of America, 511 U.S. 375, 381 (1994); Camacho v. City of San Luis, 359 Fed.Appx. 794, 798 (9th Cir. 2009); California Sportfishing Prot. All. v. Agric. Mgmt. & Prod. Co., Inc., No. 2:14-cv-02328-KJM-AC, 2016 WL 4796841, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 14, 2016) (noting that “the court in its discretion typically declines to maintain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the parties' settlement agreement.”).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
