United States Sixth Circuit

In a breach of contract action concerning the purchase of a business, the District Court's order enforcing the parties' settlement agreement is affirmed, where a District Court may enforce a settlement agreement that produced the dismissal of an earlier federal suit when the court has diversity jurisdiction over the breach-of-settlement-agreement controversy.
