The remaining Parties in this case have filed a Notice of Settlement (DE #37 ), and the Court congratulates them on their amicable resolution of this matter.

Moreover, because Defendant JP Morgan Chase, N.A., has not yet served "either an answer or a motion for summary judgment," the Parties need not file a joint stipulation of dismissal, as they suggest. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). Rather, a notice of voluntary dismissal shall be sufficient to dismiss this case. Therefore, Plaintiff is directed to file a notice of voluntary dismissal on or before December 14, 2020. Further, the Parties' request to "suspend all deadlines in this action" is denied. (DE #37 ).
