Background
The court was informed that the case had been settled in principle. The opinion does not provide the underlying claims, the parties’ settlement terms, or any ruling on the merits.
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 45 days. The order stated that any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.
The order also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—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 30-day period identified in the order. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case.
