United States Second Circuit

In an action brought by plaintiff pursuant to the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, where the parties had entered into a settlement agreement and stipulated to a dismissal of the suit with prejudice, the district court's orders granting plaintiff's motion to enforce the agreement after defendant moved to vacate the dismissal and rescind the agreement, holding defendant in contempt, and imposing sanctions on defendant, are vacated and remanded, where: 1) the district court lacked jurisdiction to enforce the parties' settlement agreement; and 2) defendant was properly sanctioned for only one of the three factual contentions identified by the district court as the basis for its sanctions award.
