Order
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 the action was made within 30 days. The order stated that any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.

Judge Abrams directed the Clerk of Court to close the case.
