(a) Dismissal of Settled Cases. Upon notice to the presiding judge's chambers or to the Clerk of Court that an action has been settled, counsel shall file within thirty (30) days, unless otherwise permitted or directed, such filings necessary to terminate the action. Upon failure to do so, the Court may order the action to be placed on the Court's calendar and set for trial.

(b) Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, if after ninety (90) days, no action has been taken in any case or the case is not at issue, the Clerk of Court shall notify counsel of record, or pro se parties by certified mail return receipt requested, that the case may be dismissed for lack of prosecution thirty (30) days from the date of the notice. If no action is taken within thirty (30) days after notice has been given, the Court may enter the order of dismissal. The order shall be served on counsel and pro se parties by the Clerk of Court.
