ORDER
HERNDON, District Judge:
This matter is before the Court on the following motions: (1) Motion for
Permission To Inspect Master Settlement Agreement And Filings With The Claims
Administrator On Behalf Of Their Deceased Father, Anthony Ougle, Sr. And For
Extension Of Time To File A Notice With The Court Stating Whether Or Not
Movants Are Asserting Mr. Ougle’s Signature On The Release Is Not Authentic
(Doc. 23); and (2) Motion for Expedited Hearing (Doc. 25). Defendant, Boehringer
Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“BIPI”) has responded (Doc. 26).
Movants’ motions seek to relitigate matters already decided by the Court.
The Court agrees with BIPI, the Court has already considered and ruled on
Movants’ arguments. The Court will not further prolong this case while movants
decide whether to accept the settlement money or contest the Release as a forgery.
As previously explained, the settlement in this case is final. Movants’ request to
intervene will be denied absent notification that the Movants intend to contest the

contesting the signature on the Release (Doc. 21).
The present motions (Doc. 23 and Doc. 25) are DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
