In an action against a judgment creditor to enforce an alleged settlement, alleging that the parties reached an agreement to fully satisfy the $40,000 judgment by paying the defendant $15,000, trial court’s finding that no settlement agreement was ever reached is affirmed as, regardless of whether an agreement was reached, section 664.6 does not apply after a judgment has become final in an ordinary civil action because at that point, litigation is no longer pending as expressly contemplated by the statute.
