Basis of termination

From the record · verbatim

"TEXT ORDER that on a review of the docket, the Court notes that the parties have sought and obtained a series of extensions of time for briefing and for discovery in this matter. (See ECF Nos. 28 , 51 , 70 , 83 , 123 , 128 , 129 , 131 , 132 , 133 , 134 ). Based on these extensions and the Courts inherent authority to manage its docket, it finds good cause to instruct the Clerks Office to ADMINISTRATIVELY TERMINATE this matter without prejudice to the parties right to seek its re-opening upon letterapplication to the Magistrate Judge. So Ordered by Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on 8/25/2023."
