No. C 16-02281 WHA

ORDER DISMISSING CASE

Yesterday afternoon, the parties filed a notice of settlement and asked that today’s

hearing on plaintiff’s motion to strike be vacated. The request to vacate the hearing was denied. 

Last night, the parties filed a stipulated dismissal but conditioned the dismissal on the Court

retaining jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement.

It is against the practice of this Court to retain jurisdiction to enforce settlement

agreements. In the rare case where it has been allowed the parties must provide the Court with

the written agreement they intend to have enforced. The parties failed to do so, and at the

hearing today, counsel confirmed that the parties have not yet reduced their agreement to

writing.

The case is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice, but the Court will not retain

jurisdiction over any settlement agreement. The parties will need to pursue any relief relating to

the settlement agreement in state court. The pending motion to strike is DENIED AS MOOT.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
