CIVIL RULE 41.1 DISMISSAL OF SETTLED CIVIL CASE Within thirty (30) days after advising the court a case has settled, or within a longer time as the court may set, the parties must serve and file the documents necessary to terminate the case, unless the United States is a party. If the United States is a party, the parties must serve and file the documents necessary to terminate the case within sixty (60) days of advising the court the case has settled. If the parties fail to do so, the court may order dismissal of the case, but a party may seek reinstatement of the case by serving and filing a motion to reinstate the case within sixty (60) days after the date of the order. The motion must show good cause to reinstate the case.
