ORDER: As discussed in today's telephonic conference, the Court will hold a hearing Monday, 12/23/19 at 10:00 a.m. to consider the parties' proposed settlement in accordance with Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-8(n). At the hearing, the Court will ask the parties briefly to describe the negotiations leading up to the settlement, the various consideration involved, and the monetary compensation to be paid in connection with the withdrawal of the zoning appeal. During the call, the parties pointed out that if this appeal were in Connecticut state court, it would be governed by Practice Book § 14-7B, which would require no notice or hearing other than this notice and the hearing to be held before the Court on Monday. Specifically, under that provision, the City's zoning board would not be required to give notice or hold a hearing because the settlement contemplates no modification of the zoning decision being challenged; under the proposed settlement, that decision will stand and the appeal will be withdrawn. Although this Practice Book provision is not binding on this Court, I see no reason not to follow it in this case in light of the information concerning the proposed settlement the parties have provided to the Court, which is attached hereto. So I decline to order any notice of the settlement other than this notice or any hearing on the settlement other than the one to be held before the Court on Monday. Signed by Judge Michael P. Shea on 12/19/19. (Constantine, A.) |

ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE: After the parties reported that they reached an agreement to settle this action and that the settlement would include the withdrawal of the plaintiff's zoning appeal brought under Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 8-8, the Court held a hearing on December 23, 2019, to decide whether to approve the settlement, in accordance with Sec. 8-8(n). Before the hearing, the Court received and reviewed information concerning the proposed settlement, which the Court posted on the docket on December 19, 2019. ECF No. 177. At the hearing, the Court canvassed both counsel concerning the settlement. Having taken these steps and concluded that the settlement is fair and reasonable for the reasons stated on the record at the hearing, the Court approves the settlement, including the withdrawal of the zoning appeal. Therefore, this case is DISMISSED with prejudice. Rather than continue to keep the case open on the docket, the Clerk is directed administratively to close the file without prejudice to reopening on or before 1/23/20. If the parties wish to file a stipulation of dismissal (for approval by the Court or simply for inclusion in the Courts file), they may do so on or before 1/23/20. The dates set forth in this order may be extended for good cause pursuant to a motion filed in accordance with Local Rule 7. Signed by Judge Michael P. Shea on 12/23/2019. (Constantine, A.) |
