This stipulation is either

• “a signed dismissal agreement” under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure

42(b)

2

 or

• “a stipulation of dismissal” under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

41(a)(1)(A)(ii),

whichever applies where “[52 U.S.C. 30110] grants exclusive merits jurisdiction

to the en banc court of appeals,” Wagner v. FEC, 717 F.3d 1007, 1011 (2013),

allowing dismissal without a court order.

By agreeing to this dismissal, the FEC does not waive any rights or arguments

that may apply in future cases.
