What happened
In Tavarez-Vargas v. Piggy LLC, the plaintiff told the court that the parties had reached a settlement.
The court discontinued the case without costs to either party and allowed the case to be restored to the court’s calendar if an application was filed by April 7, 2022.
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ordered that if no application to restore the case was filed by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice. The court also adjourned all other dates and deadlines without setting a new date.

Background
Carmen Tavarez-Vargas brought the action individually and on behalf of others similarly situated against Piggy LLC. The court received a letter from the plaintiff stating that the parties had reached a settlement.
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 calendar if an application to restore it was made by April 7, 2022. The order states that if no such application was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice. The court also adjourned all other dates and deadlines without setting a new date.
Effect
The opinion does not describe the settlement’s terms or resolve the underlying claims. The case was therefore closed subject to the stated deadline for seeking restoration.
