Background
The court said it had been notified that the action had settled and that no issue remained for the court to determine.
Ruling
The court ordered that the action and all claims asserted in it be dismissed with prejudice. This means the dismissal bars those claims from being brought again in the same action. The clerk was directed to administratively close the case, and all scheduled dates were vacated.
The order allowed any party to move to reopen the case if the motion was filed within 75 days. The court also retained jurisdiction for 75 days. The order does not address the merits of the claims.
