Docket entries

1. #2502014-06-02

   MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: Upon receipt of the stipulation of dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), which is self-executing, the claims between plaintiff and defendant Office Max, defendant Sears Holding, and intervenor Adobe Systems are dismissed with prejudice and, because no defendants remain, this case is terminated. However, the stipulation calls for this Court to retain jurisdiction, which the Court has no authority to do when the dismissal is with prejudice. See, e.g., Dupuy v. McEwen, 495 F.3d 807 (7th Cir. 2007). Therefore the Court does not retain jurisdiction over the dismissed claims. The parties may seek to have the dismissal with prejudice vacated pursuant to Rule 59(e) if they wish to structure their settlement such that the Court may retain enforcement jurisdiction, such as seeking the entry by the Court of a consent order that bars the filing of the specified claims.
