Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), the parties, by and through their 1 2
counsel of record, jointly stipulate and request the Court dismiss this action with 3 prejudice, and that the Court retain jurisdiction over the action to enforce the terms of 4 the parties’ settlement agreement and any disputes related thereto. This stipulation 5 and request are based on the following recitals: 6
RECITALS
7 1. In this action, Plaintiff Monique Bennett alleged that Defendant The 8 9
Primadonna Company LLC violated Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act 10 (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. §12181 et seq., in its provision of goods, services, facilities, 11 privileges, advantages, and/or accommodations provided to the public at the Primm 12 Valley Resort and Casino in Primm, Nevada (the “Resort”). 13 2. In the action, Plaintiff sought injunctive relief to have Defendant 14 remediate any alleged violations of Title III of the ADA at the Resort. Injunctive 15 16
relief is available under Title III of the ADA. 42 U.S.C. §12188(a)(1). 17 3. Plaintiff and Defendant have reached a confidential agreement to resolve 18 all claims asserted in the action (the “Agreement”). 19 4. The Agreement requires the parties to perform certain obligations in the 20 future. It also requires the parties to attempt to informally resolve any disputes arising 21 from, or related to, compliance with the Agreement’s terms. 22 23
5. In the event they are unable to informally resolve any disputes related to 24 or arising from the Agreement, the parties agree that it would be more efficient and 25 effective for them to seek relief from this Court, which has original jurisdiction over 26 the action, and which is familiar with the claims asserted in the underlying action and *4 with the procedural history of the case. 1 2
6. Thus, the parties have stipulated that any party may bring a motion or 3 action to enforce the Agreement’s terms if the parties are unable to informally resolve 4 their disputes. In the event a motion or action is initiated to enforce compliance with 5 the Agreement, the parties have agreed to take any steps necessary to provide the 6 Court with a copy of the Agreement while maintaining its confidentiality. 7 7. Because this Court has original jurisdiction over the plaintiff’s claims 8 9
under Title III of the ADA, retention of jurisdiction over the Agreement, to ensure the 10 parties compliance therewith, is appropriate. Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of 11 Am., 511 U.S. 375, 381 (1994). 12
STIPULATION AND REQUEST
13 Thus, the parties stipulate and request: 14 1. That the Court dismiss this action with prejudice, and 15 16
2. That the Court, which has original jurisdiction over this action, retain 17 jurisdiction over the action, notwithstanding its dismissal, solely to enforce any 18 disputes that may arise related to the Agreement. 19 20
