Background

The court was informed that Solid State Elevator Corporation and Arcbest Corp. had reached a settlement. The opinion does not describe the parties’ dispute or disclose the settlement’s terms.

Ruling

Judge Ronnie Abrams ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to either party and without prejudice to restoring it to the court’s docket if an application to restore was made within 30 days. The order stated that an application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.

The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain jurisdiction to enforce the 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 Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
