Case
Laureano v. Shri Sainath, LLC · No. 1:21-cv-08352
Judge
Ronnie Abrams
Date
July 25, 2022

Background

The court stated that it had been informed that settlement had been reached among all parties. The opinion does not identify the underlying claims or provide the terms of the settlement.

Ruling

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. It warned that an application filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.

The court also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—the 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 30-day period. Judge Ronnie Abrams signed the order.
