What happened
Bagarozzi v. New York City Department of Education was reported settled to the court. The opinion does not describe the settlement’s terms.
The court discontinued the case without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring it if an application was made within 30 days. The Clerk was directed to close the case.
Judge Ronnie Abrams ordered that any request to reopen filed after 30 days could be denied solely because it was late. The parties could ask the court to retain authority to enforce the settlement only if they placed its terms on the public record and obtained the court’s approval within that period.

Background
The court stated that it had been informed that the case had settled. The opinion does not provide the settlement’s terms or explain the underlying claims.
Disposition
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 directed the Clerk of Court to close the case.
The order also stated that any application to reopen the action must be filed within 30 days of the order and that a later application could be denied solely because it was filed late. If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—meaning authority—to enforce the settlement agreement, they had to place the agreement’s terms on the public record and obtain the court’s approval within the same 30-day period. Judge Ronnie Abrams entered the order.
