UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAGJEEVAN K. DHALIWAL, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

NIRMAL SINGH, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:13-cv-00484-SKO

ORDER TO FILE SETTLEMENT 

AGREEMENT UNDER SEAL

On March 15, 2015, an informal conference was held regarding a dispute as to the 

settlement reached in this action. During the settlement conference the parties executed the 

settlement agreement. Due to the history of this action, the animosity of the parties, and the

parties’ inability to execute the settlement agreement without intervention by the Court, the 

Court finds that it is necessary for the settlement document to be filed in this action. Since the 

parties seek confidentiality of the settlement agreement and this document would not be filed but 

for the Court’s concerns regarding future issues with the agreement, the Court finds compelling 

reasons exist to file the settlement agreement and escrow instructions under seal.
