Background
The court stated that it had been informed that the case had settled in principle. The opinion does not identify the claims, describe the parties’ settlement terms, or state whether a final settlement agreement had been completed.
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 45 days. It stated that an application to reopen filed after that period might be denied solely because it was late. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain authority to enforce a 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 opinion therefore contains both a 45-day deadline for an application to restore or reopen the action and a reference to a 30-day period for seeking retained enforcement jurisdiction.
Effect and Classification
The order ended the case based on the reported settlement in principle and did not decide the underlying legal claims. The matter is classified as a procedural order. Judge Ronnie Abrams entered the order on January 15, 2025.
