The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party. It also provided that the action could be restored to the court’s calendar without prejudice if an application to restore it was made by June 2, 2021. “Without prejudice” in this context meant that restoration remained available during that period.

If no application to restore the action was made by June 2, 2021, the court stated that the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the dismissal would bar refiling the action.
