Any application to restore or reopen the action had to be filed within 60 days of the order; the court stated that an application filed later could be denied solely because it was late.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction 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 scheduled initial conference was adjourned indefinitely, and the Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
