Background

The court stated that it had been notified of a settlement and that no issue remained for the court’s determination. The opinion does not describe the settlement’s terms or the underlying claims.

Order

The court entered an order of conditional dismissal. It dismissed the action and all claims asserted in it with prejudice, meaning the claims cannot be brought again in the same form. The clerk was directed to administratively close the case, and all scheduled dates were vacated.

Either party may move to reopen the case if the motion is filed within 75 days. The court retained jurisdiction for that same 75-day period.

Disposition

The action and all claims were dismissed with prejudice. The opinion does not decide the underlying legal issues because it states that the parties settled and that no issue remained for the court to determine.
