What happened
In Holland v. B&Z Auto Enterprises, the court received a letter from the defendants reporting that the parties had reached a settlement in principle.
The court discontinued the action without costs to any party. The parties could ask to restore the case to the court’s calendar if they could not put their settlement in writing, but they had to make that request by April 28, 2022.
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ordered that if no restoration request was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action could not be reopened through that procedure.
