in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On July 24, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss this action with prejudice

settlement agreement, and therefore seeks an order for Defendant to pay Plaintiff the agreed upon 

amount, as well as additional relief such as default judgment and/or additional monetary 

sanctions. (Id.) The Court construes Plaintiff’s motion as a motion to enforce the settlement 

agreement.

the motion. Accordingly, Defendant Randolph shall file a response to Plaintiff’s motion, (ECF 

No. 56), within twenty-one (21) days from the date of this order. Plaintiff’s reply, if any, is due 

within seven (7) days from the date of service of Defendant Randolph’s response.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
