ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

STIPULATION FOR VOLUNTARY 

DISMISSAL

(ECF No. 41)

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

On June 6, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss this action with prejudice pursuant 

to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as the case has been resolved in its

Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) provides in pertinent part that, “the plaintiff may dismiss an action 

without a court order by filing . . . a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared. 

A voluntary stipulation to dismiss an action pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) automatically 

terminates the action without operation of a court order.” Black Rock City, LLC v. Pershing Cty. 

Bd. of Comm’rs, 637 F. App’x 488 (9th Cir. 2016) (citing Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing
