LEICA GEOSYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation, Plaintiff, v. L.W.S. LEASING, INC., an Illinois corporation, and L.W. SURVEY ENGINEERING & DESIGN CO., an Illinois corporation, Defendants.
Judge Philip A. Brimmer
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice [Docket No. 109] filed by plaintiff Leica Geosystems, Inc. and defendants L.W.S. Leasing, Inc. and L.W. Survey Engineering and Design Company. The parties to the stipulation state that they have reached a settlement agreement and request that the Court dismiss all claims at issue with prejudice. Docket No. 109 at 1. The parties also request that the Court retain jurisdiction over the case to enforce the settlement agreement. Id.
The Court will not retain jurisdiction over the case because the parties fail to indicate extraordinary circumstances necessitating such an approach. See Practice Standards (Civil cases), Judge Philip A. Brimmer § I.H.5. Rather, the parties will be able to enforce the settlement agreement by the filing of a new action. Otherwise, pursuant to the Stipulation [Docket No. 109] and Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), all claims in this case have been dismissed with prejudice.
BY THE COURT:
