What happened
In Camron Jay Oneal Hendricks v. Nelson E. Perdomo and ABLN Trucking, the court was told that the parties had settled the case in principle.
The court discontinued the action without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring it if an application was made within 30 days. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
Judge Ronnie Abrams also said any request to reopen filed after 30 days could be denied solely because it was late. If the parties wanted the court to retain authority to enforce their settlement, they had to put the settlement terms on the public record and obtain the court’s approval within that same period.

Background
The opinion states that the Court was informed that the case had been settled in principle. It does not describe the underlying claims, the settlement terms, or whether a final settlement agreement had been completed.
Order
The Court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring the action to the Court’s docket if an application to restore it was made within 30 days. The order states that any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.
The Court also addressed possible enforcement of the settlement. If the parties wanted the Court to retain jurisdiction—authority to resolve later disputes about the settlement—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.
