Vincent Woodhouse v. Major King

Summary

The United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia denied without prejudice Vincent Woodhouse’s pro se motion to enforce a settlement agreement. Because Woodhouse remained represented by counsel and had not shown that counsel was no longer representing him, the court directed that any request for relief be made through counsel or accompanied by such a showing.
