Court’s Order
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 45 days. It stated that any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely on that basis.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—the authority to enforce a settlement agreement—the settlement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 45-day period. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
Disposition and Basis

The order discontinued the action based on the reported settlement in principle and did not provide the settlement’s terms or resolve whether either party was legally right. Judge Ronnie Abrams signed the order on July 13, 2022.
