ORDER DISMISSING CLAIMS AND COMPLAINT
BY REASON OF SETTLEMENT
The Court has been advised by counsel for the plaintiff and counsel for the
defendant, Roger Stevenson (“Stevenson”), that the claims and complaint of the plaintiff,
Van S. Duck and all wrongful death beneficiaries of Gussie Duck, deceased, against
Stevenson have been settled, pending determination of heirship and final consummation
of the settlement. Therefore, it is not necessary that the complaint against Stevenson
remain on the docket of the Court or that Stevenson be required to participate in ongoing
litigation activity involving the remaining claims against the other defendants.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, that the claims and complaint of the plaintiff
against Roger Stevenson are dismissed without prejudice, pending consummation of the
settlement and entry of a final judgment of dismissal with prejudice. The Court retains
complete jurisdiction to vacate this order and to reopen the action upon cause shown that
settlement has not been completed and further litigation is necessary.
SO ORDERED, this the 24th day of July, 2017.
