Hampton-Mitchell v. Mitchell
Appellant Tyisha Hampton-Mitchell appeals from the trial court’s order granting the motion filed by respondents Steven Kenilvort, Nick Vanos, Inc., Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Company, and Consuelo Olmos (collectively, Respondents) to enforce a written settlement agreement pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 664.6.[1] On appeal, Hampton-Mitchell asserts that the settlement agreement entered into by the parties at a private mediation is unenforceable under section 664.6 because Coldwell and Olmos did not sign the agreement until a week after the mediation, and Kenilvort and Vanos did not sign the agreement at all. She also argues that the settlement agreement is unenforceable under general contract principles because it is fatally uncertain in its material terms. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the trial court’s order granting the motion to enforce the settlement agreement as to Coldwell Banker and Olmos, but reverse the order granting the motion as to Kenilvort and Vanos.
