NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed to by and between the 

parties that CSPA’s claims, as set forth in the Notice and Complaint, be dismissed with prejudice 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2). The parties respectfully request an order 

from this Court dismissing such claims with prejudice. In accordance with paragraph 14 of the 

Consent Agreement, the parties also request that this Court retain and have jurisdiction over the
