Background
The plaintiff filed a letter informing the court that the parties had reached a settlement in principle.
Ruling
The court ordered that the action be discontinued without costs to either party and without prejudice to restoring the action to the court's calendar if the parties were unable to memorialize their settlement in writing. Any application to restore the action had to be made by February 7, 2024. The order states that if no such application was made by that date, the dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the action could not be restored.
The court also adjourned the initial pretrial conference scheduled for January 12, 2024. The order did not decide the underlying claims on their merits.
