In the federal civil case brought by the Estate of Donovon Lynch, court filings show the case was mediated and settled in December 2022, following earlier litigation and a denied motion to dismiss. The filing also documents internal disputes between the Estate and its attorneys over settlement terms, leading to the termination of prior counsel and substitution of new legal representation.

The motion highlights tensions during settlement negotiations, including disagreements over proposed terms and control of the case, before new counsel was appointed to represent the Estate moving forward.
