Background
The court was informed that the case had been settled in principle. The opinion does not state the underlying claims or the terms of the 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 is made within 30 days. It directed the clerk of court to close the case. The order also states that any application to reopen filed after the 30-day period may be denied solely because it was filed late.
If the parties want the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, continuing authority—to enforce a settlement agreement, they must place the agreement’s terms on the public record and obtain the court’s approval within the same 30-day period. The order does not itself describe or approve the settlement terms.
