Background
The court was informed that Two Hundred Twenty Nine, LLC’s case against United States Liability Insurance Co. had been settled. The opinion does not state the nature of the claims or the settlement’s terms.
Court’s action
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 stated that an application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.

Previously scheduled conferences were adjourned, and the Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
