N.C. R. Prac. Super. & Dist. Ct. 9
When any case on a calendar is settled, it shall be the responsibility of the attorneys of record in the case to notify the Clerk of Superior Court and the Court Manager to the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge of the settlement by the end of the next business day following the said settlement. If the case is settled on the weekend before the first day of the session, then it shall be the responsibility of the attorneys of record to appear at the calendar call on the first day of the session to announce that the case is settled. When such notice of settlement is given, the Clerk and the Court Manager to the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge shall be advised as to who will prepare the judgment or dismissal and when it is to be filed.
If the attorney responsible for filing a settlement judgment or dismissal fails to do so within the time indicated to the Clerk and to the Court Manager, the case will thereafter be placed on the regular or supplemental motion calendar for inquiry by the Court as to reasons for the failure to file the settlement documents, and for the entry of such orders as the Court deems appropriate. The case may thereafter be placed on the regular or supplemental motion calendar for a later session of court for possible dismissal of the case for failure to timely file the settlement documents. Any attorney or party in the case may appear and show cause why the case should not be dismissed. If no good cause is shown, the case may, in the discretion of the Presiding Judge, be dismissed for failure to timely file settlement judgment or dismissal.
