Background
The opinion states that the Court was informed that the case had settled. It does not describe the claims or the settlement’s terms.
Ruling
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. Any application to reopen filed after that period may be denied solely because it was late. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
The Court also stated that, if the parties want the Court to retain jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement, the agreement’s terms must be placed on the public record and approved by the Court within the same 30-day period. Judge Ronnie Abrams signed the order.
