Defendant.

O RDER On November 8, 2022, counsel for Plaintiff and counsel for Defendant jointly advised the Court that the parties have reached a settlement of this matter and that they are in the process of finalizing their written settlement agreement and expect to file a a joint stipulation of dismissal after execution of the agreement and payment of the settlement. (Doc. 32.) Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this action. See Heape v. Flanagan, No. 6:07-CV-12,

(S.D. Ga. June 9, 2008). Within forty-five (45) days of the date this Order is entered, the parties—if they wish— may present a dismissal judgment, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2), incorporating the terms of their settlement, so the Court may retain jurisdiction to enforce the agreement. In the alternative, the parties may simply file a joint stipulation of dismissal. If the parties fail to file a dismissal (or, if necessary, move to reopen the case) within forty-five (45) days, the Court will swa sponte dismiss the case with prejudice. Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am.,
