The order affected Parisgiselle Pinckney, Louise Carroll, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and the City of New York by discontinuing the action under the stated settlement-related conditions.
What happened
Pinckney v. Carroll involved Parisgiselle Pinckney's lawsuit against Louise Carroll, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and the City of New York. The opinion does not describe the claims.
The parties informed the court that they had reached a settlement in principle. The court therefore discontinued the case without costs to any party.
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil allowed the case to be restored if the parties had not executed a settlement agreement and an application was made by March 15, 2021. If no application was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice.
