Mordue, Chief Judge U.S. District Judge JUDGMENT DISMISSING ACTION BASED UPON SETTLEMENT The pursuant to the report of the mediator (Dkt. No. 22) , the parties have entered into an agreement in settlement of all claims in this action, and that they reasonably anticipate finalizing their agreement shortly, following which this action will be discontinued, with prejudice, by stipulation pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
