On July 9, 2007, the parties filed a Notice of Settlement

in which they state “the above-captioned matter has been settled” and

dispositional documents “will be filed with the Court by August 5,

2007.” Therefore, a dispositional document shall be filed no later

1987) (indicating that a representation that claims have been

settled does not necessarily establish the existence of a binding

settlement agreement).
