There could be a lot of reasons for a defendant to file a motion to dismiss. However, one of them is not to indicate a settlement. If a defendant was going to settle, it would not be necessary to file a motion to dismiss (instead there would be a stipulated dismissal between the plaintiff and the defendant). Ususally it is not necessary for a defendant to get court approval to file a motion to dismiss. In this case the defendant may have had to get court permission because the time period to initially file a motion to dismiss expired (just speculating). A motion to dismiss can be filed for about eight different reasons including lack of jurisdiction over a defendant or to challenge the validity of the plaintiff's claim. In this case, since the main defendants have not filed a motion to dismiss, my guess is that this is just something specific to this defendant (such as a claim that the court doesn't have jurisdiction over it) and isn't anything that will impact the merits of the case.
