On January 3, 2024, Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the entire action

In light of the notice of dismissal, this action has been terminated, Fed. R. Civ. P. 

41(a)(1)(A)(i); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d at 692, and has been dismissed without

prejudice and without an award of costs or attorneys’ fees.
