On February 10, 2017, all parties submitted a Joint Stipulation to Dismiss this action. The

3

parties agree the matter will be dismissed without prejudice as to Mike Hopkins and Jim Wedel

4

but the matter will be dismissed with prejudice to the plaintiff, the Committee to Protect Our

5

7

action without a court order by filing: . . . a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have
