Background
The court was informed that the case had been settled. The opinion does not provide the settlement terms and does not resolve the parties’ underlying claims.
Order
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. It stated that an application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted it to retain jurisdiction—that is, authority—to enforce the settlement agreement, the agreement’s terms had to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 30-day period. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
Effect
This order ended the case based on the reported settlement but did not decide the merits of the claims. The opinion does not state what the settlement required or whether the parties later sought to restore the action. Judge Ronnie Abrams signed the order on May 24, 2023.
