Bernal v. Kuperman: Judge Vyskocil discontinued the action after a settlement in principle, allowing restoration by July 24, 2022.
Jose A. Bernal and Janna Kuperman, the parties to the action.
What happened
In Bernal v. Kuperman, the defendant informed the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that the parties had reached a settlement in principle.
The court discontinued the action without costs to either party. The case could be restored if the parties could not put their settlement in writing and someone applied to restore it by July 24, 2022.
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil stated that if no restoration request was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action could not be reopened under that order.
