Plaintiff and the Estate stipulated to a dismissal of this action with prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) with each party to bear its own fees and costs.

Accordingly, Plaintiff filed a letter on November 17, 2020, requesting a pre-motion conference on her request to dismiss this action with prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(aX2). ECF No. 97.
