No. C 15-03131 WHA

ORDER STAYING JUDGMENT

AND SETTING HEARING

On November 17, the Court entered an order granting the parties’ stipulation of

contingent dismissal (Dkt. No. 18). The parties represented that they had settled their dispute

and that the settlement agreement provided that “if any party alleges that the settlement

agreement has been breached, the alleging party may reopen this matter at any time” (Dkt. No.

13). The parties further represented that the case could be reopened “solely for the purpose of

entering and enforcing the stipulated judgment” (Dkt. No. 17). 

The parties dismissed their case, the merits of the case are gone. Plaintiffs filed a

stipulated judgment, which the Court entered (Dkt. No. 20). Defendants now contend they did

not concur in the filing of that stipulated judgment, inasmuch as it does not reflect the amount

due under the settlement agreement (Dkt. No. 22). Any dispute relating to the settlement

agreement (which the Court had not seen until defendants filed their objection), should be

litigated in state court as a claim for breach of the settlement agreement.
