Who this affects

What happened

R.F. and A.F., individually and on behalf of SF, sued the New York City Department of Education. The opinion says the defendant informed the court that the parties had reached a settlement.

Background

The court received a letter from the New York City Department of Education stating that the parties had reached a settlement. The opinion does not describe the settlement’s terms or the underlying claims.

Order

The court ordered that the case be discontinued without costs to any party. It also ordered that the case could be restored to the court’s calendar if an application to restore it was filed by November 17, 2022. If no application was filed by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action could not be restored under that order. All other dates and deadlines were adjourned indefinitely.

Disposition

Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil entered an order of dismissal based on the reported settlement. The court did not reach the merits of the parties’ underlying dispute.
