The Central Park Five case is officially closed.

A federal court judge on Friday signed off on the wrongfully-convicted quintet's $41 million settlement with the city, court records show. The deal "is an act of justice for those five men that is long overdue," Mayor de Blasio said in a statement after the filing.

"We can finally put this case behind us, and these five men and their families can begin to heal these wounds and move forward."
