WILLIAM GROSS and ELIZABETH GROSS, Plaintiffs, v. JP MORGAN CHASE & CO., Defendant.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
JESSICA G. L. CLARKE, United States District Judge:
The Court having been advised at ECF No. 5 that all claims asserted herein have been settled in principle, it is ORDERED that the above-entitled action be and is hereby DISMISSED and discontinued without costs, and without prejudice to the right to reopen the action within 45 days of the date of this Order if the settlement is not consummated.
To be clear, any application to reopen must be filed by the aforementioned deadline ; any application to reopen filed thereafter may be denied solely on that basis.
If the parties wish for the Court to retain jurisdiction for the purposes of enforcing any settlement agreement, they must submit the settlement agreement to the Court by the deadline to reopen to be “so ordered” by the Court. Per Section 6(a) of the Court's Individual Rules and Practices for Civil Cases, unless the Court orders otherwise, the Court will not retain jurisdiction to enforce a settlement agreement unless it is made part of the public record.
If settlement is not finalized, and the parties file an application to reopen the case, Plaintiffs' Complaint is due one week from the filing of that application, and Defendant's response is due 30 days thereafter.
Any pending motions are moot. All conferences are cancelled. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE the case.
SO ORDERED.
