Background
The court stated that it had been informed that the parties reached a settlement. The opinion does not identify the claims, provide the settlement terms, or state that the court approved the settlement.
Order
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 was made within 45 days. It warned that an application filed later could be denied solely because it was late. The clerk was directed to close the case.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain authority to enforce the 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 identified in the order.
Effect
This was a procedural disposition following the reported settlement; the court did not decide the underlying legal claims. The action was discontinued, and the order preserved a limited opportunity to seek restoration within 45 days.
