Disposition notice

On October 29, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California dismissed Lamar Myers v. Janice A. Vititow, et al., No. 2:26-cv-11137-FMO-AS, without costs and without prejudice after being advised by counsel that the action had been settled. The order permits the parties, upon good cause shown within 30 days, to reopen the action if the settlement is not consummated, and states that failure to reopen or seek an extension by that deadline will be deemed consent to dismissal without prejudice. The court stated that it retains full jurisdiction over the action and that the order shall not prejudice any party, citing Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) and Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962). The order was signed by United States District Judge Fernando M. Olguin.
