The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring it to the court’s docket if an application to restore the action was made within 30 days. Any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.

If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction 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 also directed the clerk to close the case.
