Background
The opinion states that the parties reported that the case had settled. It does not describe the underlying claims or the settlement terms.
Court’s Action
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 court adjourned the conference previously scheduled for April 17, 2023 and directed the Clerk of Court to close the case.
The order states that any application to reopen the action had to be filed within 30 days of the order, and that an application filed later could be denied solely because it was late. If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—its authority to resolve disputes about enforcing 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.
Disposition
Judge Ronnie Abrams discontinued the action under those conditions. The order did not decide the merits of the parties’ underlying dispute.
