Background
The court was informed that the parties had settled the case in principle. The opinion does not state the underlying claims or provide the settlement’s terms.
Order
The court 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. Any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late. If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce a settlement agreement, they had to place the agreement’s terms on the public record and obtain the court’s approval within the same 30-day period. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
Effect
This order ended the case based on the reported settlement in principle; it did not decide the underlying legal claims. Judge Ronnie Abrams issued the order on February 23, 2022.
