Background
The court was informed that the case had been settled. The opinion does not provide the settlement’s terms or explain the claims’ underlying facts.
Ruling
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 the action was made within 30 days. The court stated that an application filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain jurisdiction—meaning 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. The Clerk of Court was directed to terminate the motion at Docket Entry 22 and close the case.
Effect
The order ended the case based on the reported settlement; it did not resolve the merits of the parties’ claims. Judge Ronnie Abrams issued and signed the order.
