Wymac Capital, Inc. v. Anderson
Attorney David R. Medlin appeals from two orders entered pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 664.6[1] directing him to comply with the provisions of a settlement agreement. The dispute is an outgrowth of an order disqualifying Medlin from representing certain parties in the litigation that this court subsequently determined was wrongly entered. Medlin contends that he is not bound by the terms of the settlement agreement, which require him to return documents obtained in discovery, because he did not sign the agreement or agree in open court to be personally bound by its terms. We conclude that summary enforcement under section 664.6 was improper absent Medlins express consent to the agreement. Accordingly, Court reverse the order requiring Medlin to comply with the terms of the settlement.
