IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA SAVANNAH DIVISION

PATRICIA MITCHELL,

Plaintiff, CIVIL ACTION NO.: 4:23-cv-68

v.

EXPERIAN INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, INC.,

Defendant.

O RDE R Plaintiff initiated this case by filing a Complaint with this Court on March 21, 2023. (Doc. 1.) The sole Defendant, Experian Information Solutions, Inc., has recently been served, but has not yet filed an answer. (See doc. 5.) On April 25, 2023, counsel for Plaintiff filed a Notice of Settlement, advising the Court that the parties have reached an agreement to settle this matter and that they are in the process of preparing and finalizing their settlement documents and expect to file a dismissal after execution of the settlement documents. (Doc. 6.) 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 sua sponte dismiss the case with prejudice. Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am.,

(1994). SO ORDERED this 2nd day of May, 2023.
