Re Fw Sweatman V. Zeeman 21Cv9795¶

For clarity, the Court Order uses settlement agreement as a non-capitalized, non-defined term; it is used in the general sense to indicate that the Judge is aware the parties have reached a resolution as it was read into the transcript at court. It is not referring to any specific settlement agreement and the settlement agreement draft was never sent to the Court. What we are doing with the settlement agreement draft is to memorialize the agreement all parties reached. We needed the Court Order in order to effectuate the settlement due to the non-conformities and to expedite the City/County approval of the plat as strongly suggested by Gaddy which you were aware of. This is the same as someone filing a Notice of Settlement which stays a case pending the parties memorializing their agreement into a written document. Formal settlement agreements arent reviewed by the Judge unless there has been a breach and someone files a motion to enforce.

In our case, the Judge was aware of the potential, complex issues with the variance appeal and time frame to resolve the case. A Judge is not going to take the case off of a calendar unless there is a document indicating the parties settled, which is what this is.

The Court only reviewed this Order and the attached plat.

Please let me know if you need further clarity.

Odyssey has it listed as closed.

I spoke to the court because you never said anything ever to me- they confirmed it was closed and not on the judges docket.

I have zero protection from the court - and per the transcripts exact words you have decided not to follow.

He needs to move the fence.

Sarah,

The Judge reviewed the plat and we settled in court. The Judge was demanding the Order with the plat attached. Also, the case is administratively closed which was done by the Judge; this is not closed. We have no control over how the Court manages a case. Per the hearing, which you attended, they demanded that we meet the various deadlines and, upon receipt of the plat, stated that the case would be administratively closed pending final settlement. This does not impact any motion to enforce settlement or other filings which may be applicable.
