Background The court stated that the parties had informed it that they had reached a settlement in principle. The opinion does not describe the underlying 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 was made within 30 days. It stated that an application filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain jurisdiction—the authority to enforce the settlement agreement—the settlement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 30-day period. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
