(PC) Koch v. Sacramento County

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 ROLAND THOMAS KOCH, No. 2:15-cv-0739 JAM CKD P Plaintiff, v. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SACRAMENTO COUNTY, et al., Defendants. 16 On September 1, 2016, plaintiff and the only remaining defendant, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones sued in his official capacity, filed a stipulation of dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The court was informed that the parties had reached a settlement agreement, but terms of settlement were not disclosed. On June 19, 2019, plaintiff filed a motion asking that “the court review and intercede in enforcing the settlement agreement reached.” As the court was never made aware of the terms of settlement and was never asked to retain jurisdiction over the settlement agreement before the stipulation of dismissal was entered, the court does not have the authority to enter the order sought.
