Background

Milagros Senior brought the action on behalf of herself and other similarly situated persons against American Gateway Marketing Group. The opinion does not state the substance of the claims.

The order further states that if no application to restore the action was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action could not be brought back.
