Background
Kevin Yan Luis brought the action on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated against Carhartt, Inc. The court was informed that the case had been settled in principle.
Court’s action
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 order states that an application to reopen filed after that period may be denied solely because it was late.
The court further ordered that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, authority—to enforce a 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.
Disposition
The court discontinued the action and closed the case, subject to the stated 30-day restoration procedure. The opinion does not decide the underlying claims or state the settlement’s terms.
