IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the motion [docket entry 92] is granted. The Court
directs the Clerk to administratively terminate this action in his records, without prejudice to the
right of the parties to reopen the proceedings in the event settlement is not concluded and
approved. Any motion to reopen must be filed by February 5, 2013.
