ERNESTO VENTURA, Plaintiff, v. SEMIOS USA, INC., Defendant.
ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF COURT TO CLOSE THE CASE
(DOC. 11)
SHEILA K. OBERTO, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On October 18, 2022, the parties filed a joint stipulation dismissing the action with prejudice. (Doc. 11.) In light of the parties' stipulation, this action has been terminated, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997), and has been dismissed with prejudice. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.
The parties' stipulation also provided that the Court “shall retain jurisdiction only for purposes of enforcing the terms set forth in the parties' Confidential Settlement Agreement and General Release. (See Doc. 11 at 2.) The Court in its discretion declines to adopt this portion of the stipulation. See Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of America, 511 U.S. 375, 381 (1994); Camacho v. City of San Luis, 359 Fed.Appx. 794, 798 (9th Cir. 2009); California Sportfishing Prot. All. v. Agric. Mgmt. & Prod. Co., Inc., No. 2:14-cv-02328-KJM-AC, 2016 WL 4796841, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 14, 2016) (noting that “the court in its discretion typically declines to maintain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the parties' settlement agreement.”).
