PLAINTIFF UNITED STATES' MOTION TO REINSTATE CASE AND FOR ENTRY OF FINAL JUDGMENT

SHARON JOHNSON COLEMAN, District Judge.

The plaintiff United States of America requests that the Court reinstate the case and enter final judgment against Defendant Juan Jackson, after which the case can be closed administratively.

The United States filed the complaint on May 20, 2018, seeking a permanent injunction barring Defendant Juan Jackson from, among other things, preparing federal income tax returns for others. (Doc. 1). On May 17, 2018, the United States filed a stipulation with Mr. Jackson under which he consented to the permanent injunction. (Doc. 5). The Court entered the permanent injunction the same day, and also issued an Order dismissing the case without prejudice (though the dismissal would convert to a dismissal with prejudice if a motion to reinstate or a stipulation to extend time was not filed within 90 days of the Order). (Doc. 6, 7).

Although the Court has issued the permanent injunction, final judgment has not been entered. If the Court dismisses the case with prejudice, the United States will not be entitled to enforce the permanent injunction if Juan Jackson violates it after the dismissal. The United States thus requests that the Court reinstate the case and enter final judgment against Juan Jackson. Once final judgment has been entered, the case can be closed administratively.

WHEREFORE, the United States requests that the Court reinstate the case and enter final judgment against Juan Jackson, after which the case can be closed administratively.
