March 22, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 22 ENDORSED ORDER. Before the Court is the parties' Joint Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice (Doc. #21).

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED with prejudice, and the Clerk is DIRECTED to deny all pending motions as moot, terminate any deadlines, and close the file.
