Judge
Ronnie Abrams
Date

Background

The opinion states that the Court was informed that Plaintiff Yevgeniya Shaykevich and Defendant Experian Information Solutions, Inc. had settled. It does not describe the underlying claims, the settlement terms, or any disposition involving American Express Co.

Ruling

The court ordered that the action against Experian Information Solutions, Inc. 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 30 days. Any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late. The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce the settlement, the settlement terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 30-day period.

Effect

The order discontinued the action as to Experian; it did not state a ruling on the merits of the underlying claims and did not state what happened to the claims against American Express Co.
