Sec. 134.217  Settlement.

    At any time during the pendency of a case, the parties may submit a 
joint motion to dismiss the appeal if they have settled the case, and 
may file with such motion a copy of the settlement agreement. If the 
Judge has express authority, under statute, SBA regulation or SBA 
standard operating procedures, to review the contents of a settlement 
agreement for legality, the Judge may order the parties to file a copy 
of the settlement agreement. Otherwise, upon the filing of a joint 
motion to dismiss, the Judge will issue an order dismissing the case. 
Settlement negotiations, and rejected settlement agreements, are not 
admissible into evidence.
