In Brown v. First Savings Bank, Judge Vyskocil dismissed the action against Equifax and Trans Union after settlement, subject to restoration by September 8.
The order directly affected Carlton Brown and defendants Equifax Information Services, LLC and Trans Union, LLC. It did not dismiss the action against First Savings Bank or Experian Information Solutions, Inc.
What happened
In Brown v. First Savings Bank, Carlton Brown told the court that he had reached a settlement in principle with Equifax Information Services, LLC and Trans Union, LLC. The opinion does not describe the claims or settlement terms.
The court dismissed the action against Equifax and Trans Union only, without costs to any party. Brown could ask to restore the case to the court’s calendar by September 8, 2022.
Judge Vyskocil ordered that if no restoration request was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action against those two defendants could not be reopened through that procedure. The order did not dismiss the action against First Savings Bank or Experian Information Solutions, Inc.
