LAMAR MYERS, Plaintiff, v. ARTESIA 5220, INC. et al., Defendants.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr. United States District Judge
The parties filed a notice of settlement on February 2, 2024. This action is therefore dismissed in its entirety without prejudice. For 30 days from the date of this order, the Court retains jurisdiction to vacate this order and to reopen the action nunc pro tunc on motion of any party. By operation of this order and without further court action, the dismissal in this case will convert to a dismissal with prejudice on the 31st day, absent a timely motion to vacate and reopen. If the case is reopened, the parties should be prepared for an expedited trial schedule.
The Court expects the parties to finalize their settlement or else move to reopen the case for prosecution within the next 30 days as ordered above. Should the parties file any document that contains a request to extend the deadline for purposes of completing the settlement, counsel for both parties shall submit at least seven days before the deadline a declaration with a detailed timeline of all the efforts made to complete the settlement, and the parties shall be prepared to appear in court with a client representative to explain why the settlement could not be completed in the time allowed.
