Background

The court stated that the parties had reported reaching a settlement in principle. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute or provide the settlement’s terms.

Court’s Action

The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to either party and without prejudice to restoring the action to the court’s docket. An application to restore or reopen the action had to be filed within 45 days of the order; an application filed later could be denied solely because it was late.

The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain authority to enforce a settlement agreement, the agreement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within that same 45-day period. Judge Ronnie Abrams directed the Clerk of Court to close the case.
