Judge
Ronnie Abrams
Date
Mar. 26, 2021

Background

The court stated that it had been informed that the case had been settled. The opinion does not describe the claims or the settlement's terms.

Ruling

Judge Ronnie Abrams 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 states that any application to reopen filed after that period may be denied solely because it was late.

The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain authority to enforce a 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 conference scheduled for March 26, 2021, was adjourned without a future date.
