CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. d/b/a NEWROADSAUTOLOANS; BACKROADS MAFIA TOWING; and RECOVERY DIVISION, LLC, Defendants.

O RDE R On February 6, 2026, Plaintiff, through his counsel, advised the Court that this matter has been settled as to all of Plaintiff’s claims against all Defendants in this action.” (See doc. 57.) The parties request sixty days to complete the performance of the terms of the settlement agreement and file a stipulation of dismissal. (Id. at p. 1.) Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this action. See Heape v. Flanagan, No. 6:07-CV-12, 2008 WL 2439736 (S.D. Ga. June 9, 2008).

Within sixty (60) 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 sixty (60) days, the Court will sua sponte dismiss the case with prejudice. Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am., 511 U.S. 375, 381-82 (1994).

SO ORDERED, this 10th day of February, 2026.
