These are different cases.

Purdue and the Sacklers faced federal suits from DOJ and its offices, which were tentatively resolved by the settlements you linked.

Separately, Purdue is now in bankruptcy proceedings, to which the federal, state, and local governments are party because of their suits.

The Sackler immunity request is part of the bankruptcy proceeding, not the DOJ settlement.

My guess is still the same. It's referred to "the perdue pharma bankrupcy" by the media, but technically the defendants involve the sacklers as well.
