Settlement and Procedure
The court stated that it had been informed that the case had been settled in principle. It did not describe the settlement agreement or state that the agreement had been finalized.
Disposition
The court 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. It stated that an application filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late. The court further ordered that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—meaning authority—to enforce a settlement agreement, the agreement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 30-day period. Judge Ronnie Abrams directed the clerk to close the case.
