• holding that an order that did not “specify] a date” or command the contemnor “to act immediately” was not definite and specific

• finding, based on a strict application of the holding in Kokkonen, that the district court lacked jurisdiction to enforce the parties' settlement agreement because it failed specifically to \retain jurisdiction over enforcement of the agreement when entering judgment\
