Background
The opinion states that the court was informed that this case had settled. It does not describe the claims, the settlement terms, or the parties’ positions.
Court’s Action
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 60 days. The court also stated that an application to reopen filed after that period might be denied solely because it was late.
If the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, continuing authority—to enforce a settlement agreement, the court required the agreement’s terms to be placed on the public record and approved by the court within the same 30-day period stated in the order. The clerk was directed to close the case. The order does not decide the merits of the underlying dispute.
