SKY...That is your interpretation and it is wrong. They have "Settled" the case, there is nothing in the language of the papers filed with the Court to show the "settlement" is "Pending" as you say... Here is the Court record on this...
That is your interpretation. Here is what the document filed with the Court says:...

If their settlement was "Pending" they would have said so. They DID NOT. The lawyers are talking about the filing of the "Impending dismissals", AND NOT ANY PENDING "SETTLEMENT"...
