Espinal v. Allagash Brewing CompanyEspinal v. Allagash Brewing Company
JENNIFER H. REARDEN, District Judge:
The Court, having been advised at ECF No. 9 that the parties “have reached a settlement in principle” and “request[] that [the Court] dismiss this action with prejudice with the right to reopen in forty-five (45) days if the Settlement Agreement is not consummated,” hereby ORDERS that the above-entitled action be and is hereby DISMISSED with prejudice and discontinued without costs. Within 45 days of the date of this Order, if the settlement is not consummated, the parties may apply to reopen the action.
To be clear, any application to reopen must be filed by the aforementioned deadline; any application to reopen filed thereafter may be denied solely on that basis. Further, requests to extend the deadline to reopen are unlikely to be granted.
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 by the deadline to reopen to be “so ordered” by the Court. Pursuant to Paragraph 6.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.
Any pending motions are moot. All conferences are canceled. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE the case.
SO ORDERED.
