The plaintiffs in the high-profile case involving the census presented a stipulated order for dismissal Thursday, saying the lawsuit effectively curtailed efforts to truncate and skew census data for partisan ends. U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh, who is presiding over the case, signed off on the dismissal and ordered the case closed.
