ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF 

COURT TO CLOSE CASE

On July 17, 2015, the parties' filed a stipulation that the action be dismissed with 

prejudice, each side to bear their own attorney fees and costs. 

In relevant part, Rule 41(a)(1)(A) provides as follows:

[A] plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a notice 

of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for 

summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who 

have appeared.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Rule 41 thus allows the parties to dismiss an action voluntarily, 

after service of an answer, by filing a written stipulation to dismiss signed by all of the parties

who have appeared, although an oral stipulation in open court will also suffice. See Eitel v. 

McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1472-73 (9th Cir. 1986). 

Once the stipulation between the parties who have appeared is properly filed or made in 

open court, no order of the court is necessary to effectuate dismissal. Case authority 

concerning stipulated dismissals under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) provides that the entry of such a 

stipulation of dismissal is effective automatically and does not require judicial approval. 

Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999). 

Because the parties have filed a stipulation for dismissal of this case with prejudice 

under that is signed by all parties, this case has terminated pursuant to the parties' stipulated 

terms. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii).

Accordingly IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is to 

administratively close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
