Argued October 9, 2009

Before: HENDERSON and TATEL, Circuit Judges, and EDWARDS, Senior Circuit Judge.

This case involves a dispute over the purchase of real property in the District of Columbia. Appellant, the buyer, seeks to enforce a settlement agreement it claims the parties reached during the pendency of its suit for specific performance. Finding that the parties had failed to agree to all material terms, the district court denied enforcement of the alleged settlement and then dismissed the buyer’s underlying specific performance action. We hold first that contrary to the seller’s argument, the district court had jurisdiction to entertain the buyer’s enforcement motion. Reviewing for clear error, we then affirm.
