Background

Yelitza Picon notified the court that the parties had reached a settlement in principle. The opinion does not describe the settlement's terms or state that the parties had completed a written settlement.

Ruling

The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring the action to the court's calendar if the parties were unable to memorialize their settlement in writing. Any application to restore the action had to be made by June 16, 2023. The court further ordered that if no such application was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice. Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil entered the order. The order did not decide the underlying claims.

Effect

The case was conditionally dismissed based on the reported settlement in principle. The order allowed restoration by the stated deadline if the settlement could not be put in writing; otherwise, the dismissal would become with prejudice.
