Background
The court stated that the case had been reported as settled in principle. The opinion does not provide the settlement terms or discuss the underlying claims.
Ruling
The court ordered that the action be dismissed with prejudice. It permitted the parties to seek restoration of the action to the court’s docket if they filed an application within 30 days of the order. The court warned that a later application could be denied solely because it was late.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it 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. The clerk was directed to terminate the motions pending at Docket Entries 15 and 28 and close the case.
Effect
The order ended the case based on the reported settlement rather than deciding the merits of the parties’ dispute. Judge Ronnie Abrams did not make any merits ruling in this order.
