ORDER REGARDING STIPULATION FOR 

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL WITH 

PREJUDICE

(ECF No. 28)

Plaintiff Durrell A. Puckett is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds on Plaintiff’s second 

amended complaint, filed on July 21, 2014, against Defendants Grant, Meyers, Young, Jobb, 

Rodriguez, Slankard and Martinez for excessive force, against Defendants Williams, Munoz, 

Peterson, Grant and Steers for failure to intervene, and against Defendant Slankard for deliberate 

indifference to Plaintiff’s conditions of confinement. 

On January 5, 2014, Defendants filed a “Stipulation for Voluntary Dismissal with 

Prejudice.” (ECF No. 28.) Defendants represent that the parties have resolved this case in its 

entirety and stipulate to a dismissal of this action with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). However, the document is signed electronically for Plaintiff as “/s/ 

THD for Durrell A. Puckett.” (ECF No. 28, p. 2.) The electronic signature does not comply with 

Local Rule 131 and Plaintiff has not been authorized to file papers electronically.
