Ellen Pao’s gender-bias case against Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers reached a conclusion as the venture capital firm said in a court filing that its award for court costs against her is resolved.

Pao said Sept. 10 that she would drop her appeal of a jury verdict and she expected to pay the $276,000 in court costs awarded Kleiner. Pao said she hadn’t reached a settlement with the firm because she was unwilling to agree to not to speak about her experiences.

Kleiner Perkins consistently offered to forgo the legal fees awarded by the judge if Pao dropped her appeal, a person familiar with the matter said then.

Pao filed to abandon her appeal on Sept. 17, according to court records. On Sept. 18, Kleiner said in a court filing that it had accepted a payment or performance other than the amount ordered by the judge.

The case is Pao v. Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers LLC, CGC-12-520719, California Superior Court (San Francisco).
