Background

The court was informed that all parties had reached a settlement. The opinion does not state what claims were brought or provide the settlement’s terms.

Order

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

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 Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
