Background
The court stated that it had been notified that the action had settled and that no issue remained for the court to decide. The opinion does not describe the claims or the settlement terms.

The order allowed any party to move to reopen the case if the motion was filed within 60 days. The court retained jurisdiction for 60 days. This was a dismissal based on settlement rather than a decision on the underlying claims.
