On May 19, 2015, the parties filed a joint status report advising the court that the

decision. ECF No. 39. Neither party has responded. Because this action is now moot, the court 

TERMINATES the injunction issued in its February 10, 2015 and March 19, 2015 orders and 

DISMISSES the action. See Sears, Roebuck & Co. v. Carpet, Linoleum, Soft Tile & Resilient 

Floor Covering Layers, Local Union No. 419, AFL-CIO, 397 U.S. 655, 657–58 (1970) (an 

injunction terminates upon final Board resolution of the underlying unfair labor practice charge); 

Johansen for & on Behalf of N.L.R.B. v. Queen Mary Rest. Corp., 522 F.2d 6, 7 (9th Cir. 1975) 

(directing district court to dismiss the complaint for a section 10(j) injunction as moot in light of 

the Board’s decision); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3) (“If the court determines at any time that 

it lacks subject-matter jurisdiction, the court must dismiss the action.”). Case closed. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
