JEROME GRIMES,

Plaintiff,

 v.

OFFICER BARBER, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. 09-00411 CW

ORDER REGARDING

PLAINTIFF’S

DECLARATIONS

On December 23, 2009, the Court entered an Order Denying

Plaintiff’s two motions for relief from settlement. On January 4,

2010, Plaintiff filed a declaration stating that he had not

received from Defendants, within ninety days from the date of the

Court’s September 17, 2009 Conditional Order of Dismissal, the $500

agreed consideration for the settlement of his case. Plaintiff

noted that the September 17, 2009 Dismissal Order indicated that,

if either party certified to the Court that the agreed

consideration for the settlement had not been delivered within

ninety days from September 17, 2009, the dismissal order would be

vacated and the case would go forward. 

On January 6, 2010, counsel for Defendants submitted a

declaration in which she stated that, until she received the

Court’s December 23, 2009 Order denying Plaintiff’s motions for

relief from settlement, she understood that the settlement could be

vacated by court order. However, once she received the December

23, 2009 Order, she sent Plaintiff a settlement check in the amount

of $500. On January 12, 2010, Plaintiff filed another declaration

in which he stated that he should have received the check within

ninety days of the date of the September 17, 2009 Order of

Dismissal.

By filing these declarations, Plaintiff is attempting, once

again, to obtain relief from his settlement agreement. The Court

has ruled on this issue and will not re-visit it again. 

Furthermore, defense counsel reasonably waited until the Court

ruled on Plaintiff’s motions for relief from settlement before

sending him the settlement check. Plaintiff has received the

consideration to which he agreed.

Any further papers submitted by Plaintiff attempting to vacate

his settlement will be returned to him by the clerk.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
