This document is an opposition to a motion to enforce a settlement agreement. It argues that the settlement agreement should not be enforced for three reasons: (1) the parties did not agree to all material terms; (2) the agreement was not signed by all parties or made orally in court as required by law; and (3) the moving party's dismissal of the lawsuit deprived the court of jurisdiction. It includes a memorandum of points and authorities and a declaration with exhibits to support these arguments against enforcing the agreement.
