Background
The court stated that the parties had reported that the case was settled in principle. The order does not identify the underlying claims or provide the terms of any settlement.
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. Any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was untimely.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, continuing 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 previously scheduled April 18, 2025 conference was adjourned without a new date, and the Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
Disposition and Classification
The action was discontinued under the stated settlement-related terms. This is a procedural order because the court did not decide the underlying legal dispute on its merits.
