1 The parties also requested that the Court “retain jurisdiction to reopen the case, set aside the dismissal, and enter a Final Judgment in the event of a default under the terms of the Parties’ Settlement.” (See Doc. 30 at 2.) The Court in its discretion declines the parties’ request. See Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of America, 511 U.S. 375, 381 (1994); Camacho v. City of San Luis, 359 F. App’x 794, 798 (9th Cir. 2009); California Sportfishing Prot. All. v. Agric. Mgmt. & Prod. Co., Inc., No. 2:14-cv-02328-KJM-AC, 2016 WL 4796841, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 14, 2016) (noting that “the court in its discretion typically declines to maintain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the parties’ settlement agreement.”).
