Background
The opinion states that the court was informed that the case had settled in principle. It does not describe the underlying claims or the settlement’s terms.
Court’s action
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 order warned that an application filed after that period might be denied solely because it was late.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—the authority to enforce the settlement agreement—the settlement 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. Judge Ronnie Abrams signed the order on March 27, 2025.
