Midland Credit Management and defendant reach agreement; judge to sign when copies filed

Midland Credit Management and defendant Alfreda Doe reached an agreement during the civil calendar and the court assisted by placing parties in a breakout room for negotiation. After counsel said the parties reached terms, Judge Tammy Long Hayward told them, "As soon as we get the signed copies from both of you, I will sign off on it, keep that copy for your records."

Court staff and counsel discussed logistics to complete the settlement documentation; the judge asked that the signed agreement be filed and said she would enter the court's signature upon receipt. The transcript indicates the court used a breakout room to let counsel and parties finalize terms and confirmed that the judge would sign and retain a copy for the court file once both sides submit the signed documents.
