Attempting to answer my own question as to who wanted to rehear the Texas settlement.

" Plaintiffs' claims shall be dismissed with prejudice "

Definition. When a case is dismissed for good reason and the plaintiff is barred from bringing an action on the same claim.

Doesn't that mean we gave up any right to purse the claims at issue any further? Conversely, since defendants claims were dismissed without prejudice, they could.

What did defendants hope to gain which was lost in the settlement terms? I thought the defendants got a sweet deal. ????
