JOHN Z. LEE, District Judge.
The Structural Iron Workers Local Union No. 1 Pension Trust Fund (the "Fund") and Harris Davis Rebar, LLC ("Harris Davis"), by and through their respective attorneys, jointly move for the entry of a Stipulated Order of Judgment agreed to pursuant to a Settlement Agreement, and in support, state as follows:

On June 30, 2017, the Fund filed a complaint against Harris Davis alleging that Harris Davis is responsible for the same withdrawal liability the Fund had assessed against Old Chicago Steel, LLC ("Old Chicago") and Davis J.D.
