ITEM 7.02 | BY SETTLEMENT

Another way in which a case may end without a trial is when the parties reach what is called a settlement. A settlement is an agreement between the plaintiff and defendant to resolve the lawsuit. Generally, but not always, it involves a monetary payment to the plaintiff in exchange for the dismissal of the case and a “general release.” If the parties reach a settlement, they will usually sign what is called a stipulation of dismissal and the plaintiff will be required to sign a general release which states that in exchange for a certain sum of money or some other type of non-monetary consideration, he or she agrees to dismiss the lawsuit and release the defendant from any and all liability arising from the claims set forth in the complaint.

The Court generally encourages settlement and the Judge or Magistrate Judge may hold one or more settlement conferences where they attempt to assist the parties reach a mutually acceptable settlement of the case. Parties can discuss settlement and settle the case at any time and do not need court intervention to settle a case. If a case is settled, a short order will generally be issued dismissing the case.

Congratulations! You're now booked up on Item 7.02 from USNYWD's Pro Se Handbook!
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.

For instance, you might need to examine this handbook in order to protect yourself from judges/lawyers/organizations who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).

Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.

Sincerely,
