Background

Ramon Jaquez sued Wax Research, Inc., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated. The court received a letter from Jaquez stating that the parties had reached a settlement in principle. The opinion does not provide the settlement's terms or indicate whether the court approved a final settlement.

Court’s Action

The court ordered that the case be discontinued without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring the case to the court’s calendar if an application to restore it was made by November 10, 2022. The court further ordered that, if no such application was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice. It adjourned all other dates and deadlines indefinitely.
