According to the Texas Supreme Court's online docket, the Church of Scientology has confirmed that it is unopposed to the motion filed last week by Monique Rathbun, who has asked for a stay in her case so she can dismiss her lawsuit outright.

Meanwhile, at his blog, Monique's husband, Mark "Marty" Rathbun, announced Monday that "there was no settlement" to end the case.

Our Texas legal expert, an attorney who has handled appellate matters there and goes by the handle "TexasLawyer," had told us that it appeared to him the case was ending without a settlement, even though many of our readers have assumed that the Rathbuns must have worked out some kind of financial agreement with Scientology after news broke in February that Monique had fired her entire legal team in the three-year lawsuit.
