UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On September 12, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation for dismissal of this entire case with 

prejudice under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). See Doc. No. 11. 

Rule 41(a)(1), in relevant part, reads:

(A) . . . the 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. . . . (B) Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the 

dismissal is without prejudice. 

Dismissals under Rule 41(a)(1)(A), when properly filed, are effective immediately and do 

not require a court order/court approval. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1); Yesh Music v. Lakewood 

Church, 727 F.3d 356, 362 (5th Cir. 2013); Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 

1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999); Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2 1470, 1472-73 (9th Cir. 1986).
