He's settled with WP and CNN. He has a bunch of ongoing stuff too but I cant even guess how those may turn out, though it sounds like the payouts he's gotten are peanuts for the original ask:

In this situation, I’d estimate the legal fees incurred by the insurance company if they conduct discovery on this issue and then argue summary judgment is on the magnitude of $200,000.....So a settlement in that situation needs to be quite a bit below $200k for the carrier to be financially incentivized to provide Sandmann a graceful, confidential exit from the suit that saves face. $50k is a good guess.
