FORT MYERS DIVISION
GWYNETTA GITTENS, JERALD
THOMPSON, STEPHANIE LAWRENCE
and PRESTON TOWNS, an individual
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No: 2:16-cv-412-FtM-38MRM

THE SCHOOL BOARD OF LEE
COUNTY, FLORIDA,
Defendant.
/
OPINION AND ORDER1
This matter comes before the Court on sua sponte review of the file. The Court
administratively closed this case after receiving notice that all Plaintiffs had settled their
claims. (Doc. 69). The Court reopened the case on motion by Plaintiff Preston Towns
because a condition precedent to his settlement agreement did not occur. (Doc. 77). But
the claims of the other Plaintiffs remained settled, and they should be terminated as
parties to this case.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
