MINUTE-ENTRY: by Judge Harold A. Baker. The Court has had conversations with counsel for the parties yesterday and today, and it is the Court's understanding based upon these conversations that the case is now settled. On November 23, 1999, Judge McCuskey dismissed Count VIII (Illinois Eavesdropping Act) of ADM's Amended Complaint based upon a Motion to Dismiss filed by ADM on that date. As of this date, the only count pending in either ADM's Amended Complaint (other than Count VII which previously stayed by Judge McCuskey) or Whitacre's Counterclaim, is Count II of Whitacre's Counterclaim which, pursuant to settlement, will be dismissed with prejudice. The parties are ordered to carry out the terms of settlement as discussed with the Court and counsel for the parties may submit further documentation to this Court or Judge McCuskey, as may be appropriate. The final pretrial conference which was originally scheduled for November 24, 1999, was continued for further hearing until December 3, 1999, at 1:00 p.m. Based upon the representations of counsel the continued final pretrial conference is cancelled. It is therefore ordered that this case is dismissed without costs and with prejudice. Leave is granted, upon good cause shown within thirty-five (35) days, to reinstate the case if settlement is not consummated. As a term of this dismissal, the court retains jurisdiction of this case to enforce compliance with the settlement contract. See Kokkonen v Guardian Life Ins. Co., 511 U.S. 375, 114 S.Ct. 1673, 128L. Ed. 2d. 391 (1994). Case dismissed. (cc: Judge McCuskey & all counsel) (KW, ilcd)
