What do you find not equivalent about it? The first spells out in great detail what the settlement was between the parties, whereas the second does not, but I don't see how that is relevant. I don't recall offhand any requirement in the rules that the filing for dismissal has to include the terms of any settlement, or even state the reason for the dismissal. About all we can deduce from those two examples, I think, is that Active Window Productions had a lawyer who was being paid by the hour when the lawyer drafted the document! :-) -- --Tim Smith _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
