RULE 17 - SETTLEMENTS - NOTIFICATION TO COURT

After a case has been set for pre-trial, trial or other proceedings requiring personal appearance, a request for dismissal by the plaintiff or by agreement of the parties due to settlement or some other reason shall be submitted in writing to the Court within twenty (20) days of the scheduled court appearance, after prompt notification of the settlement or dismissal by telephone to the Clerk of Court. Failure to give such written notice of settlement and non-appearance of the parties, shall subject the action to dismissal by the Court at plaintiff's costs.
