Background
The opinion states that the court was informed that the parties had reached a settlement. It does not describe the claims, the settlement’s terms, or any merits determination.
Ruling
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 cautioned 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—that is, authority—to enforce the settlement agreement, they had to place the agreement’s terms on the public record and obtain an order approving them within the same 30-day period. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
Effect
The order ended the action on the court’s docket following the reported settlement, subject to the stated 30-day restoration procedure. It did not resolve the underlying claims. Judge Ronnie Abrams signed the order.
