Background
The opinion states that the Court was informed that all parties had reached a settlement. It does not describe the claims, the settlement terms, or whether any class was certified.
Ruling
The court ordered that the action be discontinued without fees or 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 45 days. The court stated that an application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.
The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—the court’s authority—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 45-day period. Judge Ronnie Abrams directed the Clerk of Court to close the case.
