Background
Josue Romero brought this action on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated against Curlmix Inc. The court stated that it had been advised that the parties reached a settlement in principle. The order did not provide the settlement’s terms or decide the underlying claims.
Ruling
The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring the action to the court’s docket if an application to restore it was made within 30 days. The court warned that an application filed later might 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 order did not state that the court approved a final settlement or retain enforcement authority.
