This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Puget Sound Electrical Workers

16

Healthcare Trust’s (“Puget Sound Healthcare”) Motion for a Preliminary Injunction

17

(Dkt. # 2) and Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. # 14).

18

On June 28, 2017, Puget Sound Healthcare filed a complaint and a motion for a

19

temporary restraining order (“TRO”) enjoining Defendants from distributing certain

20

settlement proceeds. The Court granted the motion and issued a TRO. Dkt. # 6. On July

21

5, 2017, Defendants moved to dismiss Puget Sound Healthcare’s complaint. Dkt. # 14.

22

On July 7, 2017, the Court held a hearing on whether the TRO should be converted to a

23

preliminary injunction.

24

As reflected in the record of that hearing, the parties reached an agreement

25

whereupon Puget Sound Healthcare would withdraw its request that the TRO be

26

converted to a preliminary injunction (Dkt. # 2) and Defendants would withdraw their

27

motion to dismiss (Dkt. # 14). Accordingly, the Court STRIKES those motions as

28

ORDER – 1
