Background
The court stated that it had been informed that the case was settled. The opinion does not identify the claims, describe the settlement, or provide the settlement’s terms.
Order
Judge Ronnie Abrams ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring it to the court’s docket if an application to restore was made within 30 days. The court stated that an application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, authority—to enforce the settlement agreement, the settlement terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 30-day period. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
