Background
The opinion states that the court was informed that the case had been settled. Warren Zinnamon was the plaintiff, acting on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, and Monroe & Main, Inc. was the defendant. The opinion does not provide the settlement’s terms or describe the underlying claims.
Ruling
Judge Ronnie Abrams 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 60 days. The order states 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 the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, authority—to enforce the settlement agreement, the agreement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 60-day period. The clerk was directed to close the case.
