1Opinion of the Court
JOHN M. WALKER, JR., Circuit Judge.
In this appeal from a May 18, 2005, judgment of the district court of the Southern District of New York (William H. Pauley III, Judge), the question is whether plaintiff-appellant Doreen Powell, who now has the legal equivalent of buyer’s remorse, entered into a binding and enforceable settlement agreement with defendants-appellees Omnicom and BBDO/ PHD that concluded their litigation. For the following reasons, we hold that the settlement agreement is fully enforceable and that the district court properly denied Powell’s motion to reopen the case.
