Local Rule 9019-1: COMPROMISE AND SETTLEMENT

LOCAL RULE 9019-1: COMPROMISE AND SETTLEMENT Notice of settlement or compromise must be filed and served within ten (10) days after the report of settlement to the Court. A form in substantial conformance with the Court's local form may be used. Notice of settlement or compromise must: (1) provide parties in interest sufficient detail of the settlement to arrive at a reasoned basis for objecting to or accepting the settlement or compromise, (2) be signed by the attorneys for the settling parties and any pro se party to the dispute, and (3) be accompanied by a consent settlement order. If a notice of settlement or compromise is not timely filed and served, the Court may strike the pleading or objection of the party responsible for the delay or take other action that is just.

Notes:

(2022) Removed footnote 1 indicating that Chambers Guidelines must be considered in connection with the Local Rules because judges may have differing procedures or requirements.
