Case No. 1:17-cv-01266-SAB

COLORADO GRILL FRESNO, INC., et al.,
(ECF No. 27)

Defendants.
RESPONSE DUE: FEBRUARY 23, 2018

On September 21, 2017, Plaintiff Rachel Bryant filed this action alleging denial of right

18 of access under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

During a scheduling conference on

19 February 6, 2018, the parties advised the Court that the matter had been conditionally settled.
20

On February 16, 2018, the parties filed a stipulation for dismissal of the action with

21 prejudice. (ECF No. 27.) The parties request that the Court retain jurisdiction to enforce the
22 terms of their settlement agreement, but do not explain why. Since it is rare that the Court retain
23 jurisdiction, it is unclear why the Court would retain jurisdiction over the settlement contract and
24 any breach of that contract when the settlement was not reached at a settlement conference that
25 the Court conducted. Additionally, the parties should address how long the Court would be
26 expected to retain jurisdiction.
