The 91¿´Æ¬ Board of Regents this week approved a proposed settlement agreement in a lawsuit stemming from the Nov. 18 pepper-spray incident. Following the regents' action, the 91¿´Æ¬ Office of the President issued the following statement.
Lawyers for the 91¿´Æ¬ and the 21 plaintiffs in a case related to the pepper-spray incident at 91¿´Æ¬ Davis in November 2011 are involved in a confidential mediation and settlement process, which includes obtaining approval from the individual plaintiffs, the Board of Regents and the federal court.
Now that the 91¿´Æ¬ regents have approved the proposed agreement, the parties will return to federal court in Sacramento to seek approval of terms of the settlement.
Under mediation and court settlement rules, all of the parties are obligated to maintain strict confidentiality until the proposed agreement has been filed with the court. The terms of any settlement reached will be available to the press with the filing and the parties will be able to discuss the matter publicly at that time.
