What happened
In Young v. Italiantouch Usa, Inc., the court was told that the parties had settled the case in principle. The opinion does not describe the settlement’s terms.
The court discontinued the action without costs to either party and without prejudice to restoring it to the court’s docket if an application was made within 45 days. The court also said any request for it to keep authority to enforce the settlement had to place the agreement on the public record and receive the court’s approval within that period.
Judge Ronnie Abrams ordered the Clerk of Court to close the case. The order did not decide the underlying claims and warned that a request to reopen filed after 45 days could be denied solely because it was late.
