Defendant(s).

DALE E. HO, United States District Judge:
The Court having been advised at ECF No. 21 that all claims asserted herein have been
settled in principle, it is ORDERED that the above-entitled action be and is hereby DISMISSED
and discontinued without costs, and without prejudice to the right to reopen the action within
thirty days of the date of this Order if the settlement is not consummated.
To be clear, any application to reopen must be filed by the aforementioned deadline; any
application to reopen filed thereafter may be denied solely on that basis. Further, requests to
extend the deadline to reopen are unlikely to be granted.
If the parties wish for the Court to retain jurisdiction for the purposes of enforcing any
settlement agreement, they must submit the settlement agreement to the Court by the deadline to
reopen to be “so ordered” by the Court. Per the Court’s Individual Rule No. 7, unless the Court
orders otherwise, the Court will not retain jurisdiction to enforce a settlement agreement unless it
is made part of the public record.
Any pending motions are moot. All conferences are canceled. The Clerk of Court is
directed to close the case.
SO ORDERED.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully requested to terminate ECF No. 21.
