Background

The parties informed the court by letter that they had reached a settlement in principle. The opinion does not state the nature of the underlying claims or the terms of the proposed settlement.

Order

The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party. The discontinuance was without prejudice to restoring the action to the court’s calendar if the parties were unable to memorialize their settlement in writing and an application to restore the action was made by June 23, 2025.

The court further ordered that, if no application to restore the action was made by June 23, 2025, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action could not be revived through that restoration procedure. All other dates and deadlines were adjourned indefinitely. The clerk was requested to terminate the letter motion at ECF No. 15.

Disposition

The court entered an order of dismissal based on the parties’ reported settlement in principle. It did not decide the merits of the underlying dispute.
