As far as I can determine at this time, the MCMJIF does not have a
copy of a settlement agreement. I see that the court docket marks the
case as settled.
Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, I am unable to get any more
details today.

Hello Scott,
Thanks for your message. Please be advised that I am
seeking immediate access to this record per the OPRA and I will need
it much sooner than 12/5. In the meantime, perhaps you can tell me
the settlement amount and the breakdown of who pays.
Have a nice day and a wonderful weekend,
Charlie

I do not have a copy of the settlement agreement in Kelly v NBPA.
As you are aware, the MCMJIF has retained the services of a
third-party claims administrator in lieu of staff previously
employed by the Fund.
I will have to find out who has possession of the document you are
requesting. Given the Thanksgiving holiday (and that I did not see
this earlier), I propose to provide the document requested by
Friday, December 5.
