MINUTE ORDER: This matter is before the Court on the Parties' respective status reports. [Doc. 22 ; Doc. 23 ].

Barr, 535 F. Supp. 3d 669, 676 (E.D. Mich. 2020). Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of Petitioner and terminate this case. Petitioner is awarded his costs pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 54.1. By Judge Nina Y. Wang on 9/9/2026.
