Defendant-appellant Clara McDermott appeals the district court’s denial of her motion to enforce the settlement agreement entered into between the settlement class, represented by Patricia Arata, and defendants Nu Skin International, Inc. (“Nu Skin”), Blake M. Roney, Keith Halls, Steven J. Lund, and Clara McDermott in the underlying class action. McDermott contends, first, that the district court erred in terminating its jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement; and second, that the claims subsequently filed against her by Don Lasko in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas are precluded by the terms of the Arata settlement agreement.
