Civil Action No. 08-cv-02184-WYD-MEH.
December 23, 2008
ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Joint Motion for Administrative Closure of the Action and for the Court's Retention of Jurisdiction over the Parties' Settlement Agreement [doc. #8, filed December 23, 2008]. Having reviewed the motion and being fully advised in the premises therein, I find that because Defendants have continuing obligations pursuant to the parties' Settlement Agreement, this case should be administratively closed pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 41.2. See Quinn v. CGR, 828 F.2d 1463, 1465 n. 2 (10th Cir. 1987) (construing administrative closure as the practical equivalent of a stay). The case may be reopened for good cause shown, which shall include any further court proceedings the parties deem necessary. In conclusion, it is hereby
ORDERED that the Joint Motion for Administrative Closure of the Action and for the Court's Retention of Jurisdiction over the Parties' Settlement Agreement [doc. #8, filed December 23, 2008] is GRANTED. This case shall be ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 41.2, to be reopened for good cause shown. If the action has not been reopened within one year from today's date, the Court shall dismiss the action with prejudice.
