What happened
Jones v. Bakshiev involved Capri M. Jones as plaintiff and Ephraim Bakshiev and Murray Enterprises Ltd. as defendants. The court said it had been told that the case had been settled.
The court discontinued the action without costs to any party. It allowed either side to ask to restore the case to the court’s docket within 30 days.
Judge Ronnie Abrams also stated that any request to reopen filed after 30 days could be denied solely because it was late. If the parties wanted the court to retain authority to enforce their settlement, the settlement terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within that same period.
