(IN CHAMBERS) TEXT-ONLY ENTRY by Magistrate Judge A. Joel Richlin: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Notice of Dismissal Without Prejudice based on the fact that Petitioner has been removed to Russia. (Dkt. 12 .) Therefore, Petitioner does not object to dismissal of this petition and case without prejudice. (Id.) Respondents agree that this action should be dismissed without prejudice as moot. (Dkt. 10 at 2.) Accordingly, the Court believes the parties have sufficiently asserted their agreement to dismissal of this action without prejudice to effectuate a voluntary dismissal by stipulation pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). Therefore, the Court directs the Clerk of Court to close the case. IT IS SO ORDERED. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (asi) TEXT ONLY ENTRY (Entered: 04/13/2026)
