Plaintiffs,

v.

Defendants.

Re: Dkt. No. 28

The court is in receipt of the parties’ “Stipulated Settlement Agreement.” Dkt. 28. 

In it the parties detail the terms of their settlement agreement, including various dates 

that defendants will review the status of certain species. The latest date to complete any 

such review is August 31, 2020. Id. at 3. In their stipulation, the parties further request 

the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce that agreement. Id. at 8.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is dismissed without prejudice; provided, 

however that any party has until September 29, 2020 (30 days from August 31, 2020) to

certify to this court, with proof of service thereof on the opposing party, that the agreed 

settlement consideration has not been delivered over. If such certification is filed, the 

foregoing order shall stand vacated and this case shall forthwith be restored to the 

calendar to be set for trial.

If no certification is filed by September 29, 2020, the conditional the dismissal 

shall be with prejudice. The parties may, of course, substitute a dismissal with prejudice 

at any time during this 30-day period.
