What happened
Henry Lockhart sued Long Island Railroad Company in Lockhart v. Long Island Railroad Company, No. 1:20-cv-1236 (MKV). The opinion does not describe the claims.
A mediator reported that the parties had reached a settlement. The court therefore discontinued the action without costs to either party.
The court allowed either party to ask to restore the case to the court’s calendar by March 1, 2021; otherwise, the dismissal would be with prejudice. Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil also adjourned all other dates and deadlines without setting a new date.
