Background

The court stated that it had been informed that the case had settled. The opinion does not provide the settlement’s terms or discuss the underlying claims.

Ruling

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 was made within 30 days. It stated that an application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late. The court also stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain jurisdiction to enforce a 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 directed the Clerk of Court to close the case.
