21 Civ. 10292 (PAE) (DCF)
03-18-2022
JUAN ORTEGA, Plaintiff, v. RHF INVESTMENTS, INC., Defendant.
ORDER OF DISCONTINUANCE
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court having been advised by the parties that all claims as between plaintiff and defendant have been settled in principle, Dkt. 12, it is ORDERED that the above-entitled action is hereby dismissed and discontinued without costs, and without prejudice to plaintiffs right to reopen the action within thirty days of the date of this Order if the settlement is not consummated.
To be clear, any application to reopen must be filed within thirty days of this Order; any application to reopen filed thereafter may be denied solely on that basis. Further, 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 within the same thirty-day period to be "so ordered" by the Court. Per Paragraph 4(C) 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.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close this case.
SO ORDERED.
