Background

Ruling

The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to any party and without prejudice to restoring the action to the court’s calendar if the parties were unable to memorialize their settlement in writing. An application to restore the action had to be made by November 17, 2023. The order stated that if no application was made by that date, the dismissal of the action would be with prejudice.

Effect
