Yes. Rule 9019 already addresses such settlements and must be followed. I
haven't researched instances of confidential settlements and how they were
handled as part of the 9019 motion, but I would move to file the settlement
agreement under seal. The motion to be allowed to file under seal requires
substantial justification because all documents filed in a case are presumed
to be in the public record, but there are exceptions when dealing with trade
secrets, etc. You also must follow the prescribed procedure to do the
filing under seal lest you inadvertently make it public yourself anyway.

I forgot to mention that there is a confidentiality clause which
excludes everybody but the Chapter 13 Trustee. The case has already been
confirmed. So, if I do a notice that the parties have reached a
settlement and request a dismissal, do any of you think that Judge
Carroll would have a problem with that?

Hi, Nancy:
See In re Esco, LLC filed in Santa Ana and heard by Judge Smith. We settled
a number of avoidance actions for the Trustee. You could scroll through the
docket (a little lengthy) and you will find motions to approve compromise
filed in the main case and you can also look at the associated adversaries.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Believe it or not, in a recent AP against a mortgage creditor, we got them to release their lien and claim in a settlement. Now, I need to file the notice of settlement with the Court. How is this done? Would anyone be able to point me to a case number where a notice of settlement was filed and the adversary reached so that I may borrow your pleading?
Thanks,
