IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

MATTIE WILLIAMS, ET AL. PLAINTIFFS

vs. CASE NO. 3:05CV00013GH

TENNECO AUTOMOTIVE OPERATING

COMPANY, INC., ET AL. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

On this date, the Court conducted a hearing on the motion of defendant Tenneco

Automotive Operating Company (Tenneco) to enforce the settlement agreement reached

between Tenneco and all plaintiffs. Pursuant to the testimony and evidence presented at

the hearing, the Court finds that plaintiff Mattie Williams gave her attorney actual authority

to enter into the agreement. See Harris v. Arkansas State Highway and Transp. Dep’t,

2006 WL 305513 (8th Cir. 2006). Therefore, the Court finds that the settlement should be

enforced.

Accordingly, the motion to enforce settlement agreement is hereby granted. The

case is hereby dismissed with prejudice. Tenneco’s motion for an award of attorney’s fees

and costs is denied. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 29th day of March, 2006.
