Background
A November 30, 2020 letter informed the court that the parties had reached a settlement on all issues.
Ruling
The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring it to the court’s docket if an application to restore was made within 30 days. The order stated that a later application to reopen could be denied solely because it was filed after that deadline.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court 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. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
