Background
The court stated that it had been informed that August Image, LLC v. Know Selfcare, Inc. had been settled in principle. The opinion does not provide the settlement terms or describe the underlying claims.
Order
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 45 days. It stated that an application to reopen filed after that period could be denied solely because it was late. The clerk of court was directed to close the case.
The court further stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain 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 stated in the order. The order therefore contains both a 45-day period for seeking restoration and a 30-day period concerning court retention of authority to enforce the settlement.
Disposition
Judge Ronnie Abrams discontinued the action without costs and directed the clerk to close the case, while allowing a timely application to restore it under the terms of the order.
