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 after that deadline could be denied solely because it was late. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted the court 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 order cited Hendrickson v. United States, 791 F.3d 354, 358 (2d Cir. 2015).
Classification
This is a procedural order because the case was discontinued following settlement, without a decision on the underlying legal claims.
