UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EARNEST S. HARRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

HARMAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01117-JST 

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITH 

PREJUDICE

Re: Dkt. No. 31

Plaintiff, a state prisoner at California State Prison–Corcoran, filed the instant pro se civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging constitutional violations by staff at Pelican Bay 

State Prison (“PBSP”), where he was previously incarcerated. On July 14, 2015, the Court found 

the complaint, liberally construed, stated claims for excessive force and retaliation and ordered 

service on correctional officers Harman and Gomez at PBSP.

On February 11, 2016, the Court received a copy of a “Stipulated Voluntary Dismissal 

with Prejudice” pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1) signed by both plaintiff and counsel for 

defendants. The signed stipulation states:

Plaintiff Earnest Harris and Defendants Gomez and Harman 

stipulate under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) that 

the above entitled action shall be voluntarily dismissed with 

prejudice. Each party shall bear its own litigation costs and 

attorney’s fees.

(Dkt. No. 31.)
