Background
The court stated that it had been informed that the case had been settled in principle. The order does not provide the settlement terms or otherwise explain whether the parties had completed a final settlement.
Ruling
The court 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 45 days. The order states that an application to reopen filed after that period may be denied solely because it was late.
The court further ordered that, if the parties wanted the court to retain authority to enforce a settlement agreement, the agreement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 45-day period. The clerk was directed to close the case.
