Background
The court stated that the case had been reported settled. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or the settlement 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 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.
If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—the authority to enforce the settlement agreement—the settlement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 30-day period. The opinion cited a prior appellate decision concerning that requirement.
Disposition
The court discontinued the settled action and closed the case. Judge Ronnie Abrams did not decide the underlying claims in this order.
