Harvey v. NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation

Background

The caption identifies Alisha Harvey as the plaintiff and NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation and Physician Affiliate Group of New York, P.C. as the defendants. On May 15, 2025, the court was notified that mediation had produced an agreement resolving all issues. The opinion does not provide the settlement’s terms.

Orders

The court canceled all previously scheduled conferences and other deadlines. It dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs, including attorneys’ fees, to either party. The Clerk of Court was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.

Within 30 days, the parties could apply to reopen the case. Any such application had to show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement and had to be filed within that 30-day period. The order states that a late application or one lacking a showing of good cause may be denied solely on that basis.

The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain jurisdiction—that is, continuing authority—to enforce the settlement agreement, they had to submit the agreement under Rule 7.A of the court’s Individual Practices and request an order expressly retaining that authority within the same 30-day period.

Disposition

The court dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs, canceled the scheduled proceedings and deadlines, directed closure of the case, and terminated the open motions. The order did not decide the underlying claims on their merits.
