Background
The court stated that it had been informed that the action had been settled. The opinion does not describe the claims, the settlement terms, or whether any class was certified.
Order
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. It stated that an application to reopen filed after that period may be denied solely because it was late.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, continuing authority—to enforce the settlement agreement, the settlement terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 30-day period. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
Disposition and Classification
The court discontinued the action without costs and without prejudice to timely restoration. This was a procedural order ending the case after a reported settlement; the court did not decide the underlying claims.
