submit the notice of settlement. (Id. at 1.) Plaintiff “asks to the Court to administratively close 

this matter, subject to the right of any party to move the Court within 60 days for the entry of a 

stipulated form of dismissal with prejudice, or on good cause shown, to reopen the case for 

further proceedings.” (Id.)

voluntarily dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i). See FED. R. CIV. P.
