Background
Joseph Guglielmo brought this action on behalf of himself and all other persons similarly situated against Gear Patrol, LLC. The opinion states only that the court was told the case had been settled in principle; it does not provide the settlement’s terms or state that the court approved the settlement.
Order
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 was made within 30 days. The court stated that an application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
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. Judge Ronnie Abrams signed the order.
