Court’s Action
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 was made within 30 days. The court stated that any application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—meaning 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.
