Nancy Valentine, Plaintiff, v. Leonard Townes and Barbara Guinn, Defendants.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
KENNETH M. KARAS, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court having been advised that all claims asserted herein have been settled, 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 forty-five days of the date of this Order if the settlement is not consummated.
To be clear, any application to reopen must be filed within forty-five 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 forty-five day period to be “so ordered” by the Court. Per Paragraph 4(B) 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.
Any pending motions are denied. All conferences are vacated. The Clerk of Court is directed to close the case.
SO ORDERED.
