Background The court stated that it had been reported that this case had been settled in principle. The opinion identifies Vincent Louis Lisanti, Jr. as the plaintiff and Equifax Information Services, LLC and Experian Information Solutions, Inc. as the defendants. It does not describe the underlying claims or the settlement’s terms.
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 court warned that an application 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 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. Judge Ronnie Abrams signed the order.
