The Parties requested that the court: (1) reinstate Triad as a party litigant for the sole purpose of and to the extent required for the court to consider the Parties Joint Motion for Entry of Consent Judgment; (2) upon a determination that said Motion is proper, enter the proposed Consent Judgment Order filed with said Motion; and, (3) thereafter enter an order dismissing with prejudice the claims and counterclaims the Parties made against each other in this litigation. By clerical error, this court dismissed with prejudice the claims and counterclaims that the Parties made against each other in this litigation [Docket 134], but did not grant the other requested relief. The court hereby amends its May 6, 2010 Order of Dismissal [Docket 134]. The Joint Motion Requesting Relief [Docket 133] is GRANTED.
