ORDER DENYING MOTION

TO ENFORCE SETTLEMENT

AGREEMENT 

Plaintiff asks the Court for an Order to enforce a settlement

agreement. 

According to Plaintiff Old Dominion ("Plaintiff"), it entered

into a settlement agreement ("Settlement Agreement") with

Defendant JJ's Mae, Inc., on JJ Mae's own behalf and on behalf of

the remaining defendants, on March 18, 2005, which was endited and

executed by the parties on May 4, 2005. 

According to Plaintiff, it has received $50,000.00 of the

$90,000.00 agreed to in the Settlement Agreement. However,

Defendant JJ Mae's Inc., Plaintiff asserts, is behind on its

payments. Plaintiff asks the Court to issue an Order awarding

Plaintiff judgment against JJ Mae's Inc. for $40,000.00, plus

interest. Plaintiff also asks the Court to award Plaintiff

judgment jointly and severally against the remaining defendants,

 Plaintiff also asks the Court to award judgment for

attorneys' fees and to issue an order allowing Plaintiff to bring a

claim against JJ Mae's Inc. in the full amount owed - some

$109,962.16 - should JJ Mae's Inc. file for bankruptcy.

in an amount calculated pro-rata.1 

The Court will not issue such an Order. The Court's docket

is bare of a copy of the Settlement Agreement, much less any

evidence that the Court approved this agreement, or that the Court

should retain jurisdiction over this agreement, or that the case

against JJ Mae's Inc. and the remaining defendants was properly

dismissed. Plaintiff unhelpfully has appended an unsigned copy of

the Settlement Agreement, stating that the original cannot be

found owing to a recent change of offices. Because Plaintiff has

failed to comply with the procedural requirements outlined above,

the Court is not in a position to consider the merits of

Plaintiff's motion. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's

motion. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 6, 2006
