 SENIOR DISTRICT JUDGE

 

1 The Court notes that in the order approving Plaintiff’s and Martin’s settlement, the Court stated that once dismissal 

papers were filed, the Court intended to dismiss both Martin and its counterclaims from this case. See Doc. No. 425 at 

p.10 n.7. No party objected or responded to that order.

2 All other claims by Plaintiffs against all other defendants remain pending and open.
