ORDER

This matter is before the court on defendants’ motion for an order enforcing the parties’
14 March 2011 settlement agreement. (DE # 11.) Plaintiff filed a response to the motion. (DE #
12.) Plaintiff’s counsel acknowledges that the parties reached a settlement on 14 March 2011.
(Id.) However, counsel indicates that she has been unable to obtain the signature of Joan
Williams, the guardian ad litem for the minor plaintiff, on the settlement release. (Id.) Williams
has recently been relieved as the guardian ad litem, and attorney Kevin Vidunas appointed in her
place. (DE # 16.) Accordingly, the motion for an order enforcing the settlement agreement is
DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
This 2 October 2012.
