Background
Ramon Jaquez brought this action on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated against Zenlen, Inc. The opinion states only that the court was informed the case had settled. It does not describe the underlying claims, the settlement amount, or the settlement’s other terms.
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 60 days. The order states 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 it to retain jurisdiction to enforce the 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 referenced in the order. Judge Ronnie Abrams signed the order.
