This matter comes before the Court on third-party defendant WRC

Individually, and as Representative of Deceased, WILLIAM DARNELL, plaintiff,
as set forth in the Release of All Claims, is a good faith settlement and, further,
that pursuant to 740 ILCS § 100/2(d), Count I of the third-party complaint (for
contribution) by defendant/third-party plaintiff, HOELSCHER, Inc., against

third-party defendant, WRC FARMS, LLC, is DISMISSED with prejudice. The
Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter judgment accordingly at the close of the
