Background
The court stated that the case had settled. The opinion does not identify the underlying claims or disclose the settlement’s terms.
Order
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 court further ordered that any application to reopen the action must be filed within 30 days of the order, and stated that an application filed later may be denied solely because it was late. If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—legal 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.
Result
This order ended the case after settlement without deciding the underlying dispute. Judge Ronnie Abrams entered the discontinuance and closure order on May 29, 2020.
