Background Ana Chalas filed the action individually and on behalf of others similarly situated. The court received a letter from Chalas stating that the parties had reached a settlement in principle. The opinion does not provide the underlying claims or the proposed settlement terms.
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 calendar if the parties were unable to memorialize their settlement in writing. The court required any application to restore the action to be made by September 2, 2022. The order further states that if no such application was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action could not then be restored.
Effect The order resolved the case based on the parties’ reported settlement in principle rather than deciding the underlying claims. It did not state whether the settlement was later finalized.
