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 court stated that an application filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late. If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce a settlement agreement, the agreement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the stated period. The clerk was directed to close the case.
