The parties reached a settlement following a trial management conference and submitted a consent to a dismissal order.
The court initially rejected the consent due to issues with legal representation for the corporate defendants.
After receiving confirmation that the self-represented individual defendant had filed a Notice of Intention to Act in Person and that counsel of record had executed the consent for the corporate defendants, the court granted the consent order dismissing the action and directing the payout of $1,000,000 held as security.
