`1 This Court ordered the parties to file a status conference statement by February 9, 2021,
`“informing the Court whether the United States of America intends to pursue this case further, or
`whether, upon review by the Biden Administration, it will file a stipulation or motion to dismiss
`this lawsuit.” See Jan. 15, 2021 Minute Order. The United States understands that deadline to be
`moot given its voluntary dismissal of this action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i) (allowing for
`voluntary dismissal by plaintiff where opposing party has not served either an answer or a motion
`for summary judgment).
