Background
The court stated that it had been informed that the case had settled. The opinion does not provide the claims, the settlement terms, or any factual allegations underlying the action.
Ruling
The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring the action to the court’s docket if an application to restore it was made within 30 days. The court stated that an application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain jurisdiction—authority to enforce the settlement agreement—the agreement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 30-day period. The order did not decide the underlying claims or describe the settlement’s substance.
