Background
The parties advised the court that all claims asserted in the action had been settled. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or the settlement's terms.
Court's Order
The court dismissed the action without costs, except as the parties may have agreed in the settlement. The dismissal was conditioned by a 30-day procedure: if the settlement was not completed within 30 days of the order, either party could apply by letter during that period to restore the action to the court's calendar. An application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.
If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—the power to enforce the settlement agreement—the agreement had to be filed publicly and the court had to enter an order retaining jurisdiction within the same 30-day period.
Other Dispositions
The court ruled that any pending motions were moot, meaning they no longer required a ruling. It directed the Clerk of Court to terminate all pending motions, vacate the remaining conference dates and other deadlines, and close the case. Judge Robert W. Lehrburger signed the order.
