Background

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

Disposition

The court entered an order of conditional dismissal. It dismissed the action and all claims asserted in it with prejudice, meaning the dismissed claims cannot be brought again in the same case. The clerk was directed to administratively close the case, and all scheduled dates were vacated.

Any party may move to reopen the case if the motion is filed within 60 days. The court retained jurisdiction over the case for that same 60-day period. Judge Nathanael M. Cousins signed the order.
