ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION REGARDING PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTION TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S RECOMMENDATION DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY [ECF NO. 71]
ANNER. TRAUM, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff, Rino Tenorio, and Defendant, State of Nevada, Department of Taxation, stipulate as follows:
Plaintiff filed PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTION TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S RECOMMENDATION DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY [ECF no. 71] that requested two remedies: (1) that the Court disqualify Akke Levin, Senior Deputy Attorney General, from participation in this case based on allegations that Ms. Levin engaged in ex parte communications with the Plaintiff concerning the subject matter of this litigation and (2) that the Court exclude from use at trial that part of Plaintiff's deposition testimony which he alleges was prejudiced by the alleged ex parte communication.
Subsequent to the close of briefing on the two remedies requested by Plaintiff in Plaintiff's Objection, Akke Levin became employed by Greenberg Traurig, LLP and is no longer representing the Defendant in this case, rendering moot the requested remedy for her disqualification.
The parties agree that the Plaintiff's second requested remedy in his Objection, that the Court exclude from use at trial that part of Plaintiff's deposition testimony which he alleges was prejudiced by the alleged ex parte communication, shall remain to be ruled upon by the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
