On August 11, 2016, a stipulation for voluntary dismissal with prejudice was filed with 

the Court, containing the signatures of Plaintiff and Counsel for Defendants Tyson, T. Reyna, 

Bremner, Peacock, Brookwalter, and Correa. (ECF No. 173.) The stipulation states that 

Plaintiff Gary Andre Lacy and Defendants Tyson, et al., have resolved this case in its entirety 

and therefore stipulate to a dismissal of this action with prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(ii) allows plaintiffs to “dismiss an action 

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

appeared.” The stipulation filed on August 11, 2016 is signed by all parties who have appeared 

in this case. Therefore, the parties’ stipulation is given full force and effect, and this case is 

dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk shall close the case. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The parties’ stipulation for voluntary dismissal of this action with prejudice is 

effective as of the date it was filed; 

2. This case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
