On October 1, 2012, the Court signed an Interlocutory Judgment granting the Registrant’s bill of review in Cause No. 2011-75606, which set aside the default judgment, ordered a trial on the merits of the underlying suit to be held in Cause No. 2011-75606, and ordered a realignment of the parties with AMIN as Plaintiff and the Registrant as Defendant.
On April 26, 2013, the Court was made aware of a confidential settlement on all matters between the Registrant and AMIN, their agents, officers, directors, employees, representatives, and assigns as it relates to Cause Nos. 2011-75606 and 2010-14604.

The default judgment signed on August 19, 2011 in Cause No. 2010-14606 is vacated;
|
|
2.
