Case
Nyree Miranda v. US Star Trucking LLC · No. 1:24-cv-06558
Judge
Ronnie Abrams
Date
Oct. 28, 2024

Background

The opinion states that the Court was informed that the case had been settled. It does not disclose the settlement’s terms or address the underlying claims.

Order

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. Any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.

If the parties wanted the Court to retain 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 Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.

Disposition

This was a procedural order ending the case based on the reported settlement, rather than a decision on the merits of the parties’ underlying dispute. Judge Ronnie Abrams discontinued the action and directed that the case be closed, subject to the stated 30-day restoration procedure.
