(PC) Tate v. Andres
Opinion
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 Derek Tate, No. 2:18-cv-00822-KJM-AC Plaintiff, ORDER v. J. Anders, 1S Defendant. 16 The parties reached an agreement to settle plaintiff Derek Tate’s claims, and the case was 18 dismissed by the parties’ stipulation. See Stip., ECF No. 108; Clerk’s Not. Dismissal, ECF No. 109. In 2024, Tate moved to “re-open” the settlement proceedings based on his argument that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation had wrongly deducted fees and restitution payments from his inmate trust account. ECF No. 110. This court did not retain 22 jurisdiction over the enforcement of the settlement agreement, and the parties identify no basis for 23 this court to assert jurisdiction over their current dispute. The motion at ECF No. 110 is therefore 24 denied for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am., 511 U.S. 375, 382 (1994)…
