`
`Filing a stipulation of dismissal pursuant to Rule 41 automatically terminates

`(E.D. Cal. Oct. 25, 2019) (citing Commercial Space Mgmt. Co., Inc. v. Boeing Co.,
`
`Inc., 193 F.3d 1074, 1078 (9th Cir. 1999)) (“Case law concerning stipulated
`
`dismissals under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) is clear that the entry of such a stipulation of
`
`dismissal is effective automatically and does not require judicial approval.”).
`
`On January 20, 2021, President Joseph R. Biden issued an executive order
`
`revoking the 2019 presidential permit at issue in this case. See Exec. Order No.
`
`13,990, § 6(a), 86 Fed. Reg. 7,037, 7,041 (Jan. 20, 2021). On April 7, 2021, this
`
`Court ordered the Parties to brief whether the revocation of the 2019 presidential
`
`
`1 Defendants Joseph R. Biden, Antony J. Blinken, and Debra A. Haaland are
`automatically substituted for their predecessors. Fed. R. of Civ. P. 25(d).

`(9th Cir. June 6, 2019); League of Conservation Voters v. Biden, No. 19-35460, ___
`
`Fed. App’x ___, 2021 WL 1392149 (9th Cir. Apr. 13, 2021). Accordingly, in the
`
`interest of conserving the Parties’ and the Court’s resources, the Parties jointly
`
`submit this Stipulation of Dismissal Without Prejudice.
`
`This dismissal is without prejudice. Each party will bear their own costs and
`
`fees.
