| Oct 21, 2024 | 31 | ORDER OF DISMISSAL The Court has been informed that the parties have reached a settlement in principle in this case. Accordingly, it is ordered that this action is dismissed without costs and without prejudice to restoring the action to the Courts calendar, provided the application to restore the action is made within forty-five days of this Order in the event the settlement agreement is not completed and executed. Any such application filed after forty-five days from the date of this Order may be denied solely on that basis. If the parties wish for the Court to retain jurisdiction for the purposes of enforcing any settlement agreement, they must submit the settlement agreement to the Court by the deadline to reopen to be "so ordered" by the Court. Pursuant to 3.G of the Court's Individual Rules and Practices for Civil Cases, unless the Court orders otherwise, the Court will not retain jurisdiction to enforce a settlement agreement unless it is made part of the public record. Any pending motions are moot. All conferences are canceled. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge John P. Cronan on 10/21/2024) (jca) (Entered: 10/21/2024) (1) |
