                                             ORDER

         On April 11, 2023, the government filed a joint status report informing the Court that the
Army Board for Correction of Military Records (“ABCMR” or “Board”) granted Plaintiff full
relief in its decision on remand and that “no further proceedings are required” in this case. ECF
No. 10. The government asserts that counsel for Plaintiff “has reviewed the board’s decision and
agrees that the board’s decision granted full relief and provides a satisfactory basis for
disposition of this case.” Id. at 1. The government also posits that Plaintiff “is amenable to
dismissal of the case.” Id. However, the Court cannot proceed to order dismissal of Plaintiff’s
case on this mere representation in a status report. Accordingly, the parties SHALL seek
dismissal of this action (e.g., through a voluntary or stipulated dismissal), or, in the alternative,
SHALL file a joint status report informing the Court how they plan to proceed, on or before May
12, 2023.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
