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 45 days. The court also stated that any application to reopen had to be filed within 45 days of the order, and that a later application could be denied solely because it was late.

The clerk was directed to close the case. The order did not resolve the underlying claims or state whether the settlement was approved on its merits.
