Permanent injunction enforceable by the district court. — In an action for negligence, inverse condemnation, injunctive relief and damages, where the parties jointly filed a motion for entry of stipulated permanent injunction and voluntary dismissal with prejudice, and where plaintiff filed suit against defendant, the New Mexico transportation department, seeking enforcement of the permanent injunction, the permanent injunction was a judgment enforceable by the district court and not subject to the arbitration clause contained within the settlement agreement, because despite being the product of a stipulation between the parties, the permanent injunction provided for continued court oversight, and the terms of the permanent injunction comported with the legal rationale supporting injunctive relief.
