Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure. 41 (a)(1)(A)(ii), and consistent with the

Court’s order dated February 8, 2008 (Docket No. 58), the parties to the above-entitled action

jointly file this Stipulation of Dismissal of Claims of PlaintiffN. Doe. Dismissal of a party by

stipulation in accordance with Rule 41 is an appropriate and efficient mechanism for dropping a

party from an action. See Schwarzer, Tashima & Wagstaffe, CAt~. Paac. GUIDE: FED. CIv. PRO.

B~?FOaE T~,IAC (The Rutter Group, 1996), ~ 8:368. PlaintiffN. Doe has elected not to reveal her

true identity and thereby will not proceed as an individual plaintiff in this action. Consistent

with the Court’s order, N. Doe wishes to remain in this action, under her fictitious "Doe"

designation, as guardian ad litem for minor plaintiff B. Doe.

The parties agree that all of the claims of N. Doe against defendants Secretary of

Education Margaret Spellings and the United States Department of Education, made in her

capacity as an individual plaintiff, are hereby dismissed without prejudice pursuant to FRCP

41 (a)(1)(a)(ii).
