IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HOT SPRINGS DIVISION

MATTIE POWELL, et al. PLAINTIFFS

v. Case No. 6:20-cv-6145

DALE E. KLOSS DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is the parties’ Joint Stipulation of Dismissal. ECF No. 106. Pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), the parties stipulate to dismissal of this action with 

prejudice, with each side bearing their own costs and fees. 

An action may be dismissed by “a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have 

appeared.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). “Caselaw concerning stipulated dismissals under Rule 

41(a)(1)(A)(ii) is clear that the entry of such a stipulation of dismissal is effective automatically 

and does not require judicial approval.” Gardiner v. A.H. Robins Co., 747 F.2d 1180, 1189 (8th 

Cir. 1984). Thus, all claims were effectively dismissed when the parties filed the instant 

stipulation. However, this order issues for the purpose of maintaining the Court’s docket. 

This case is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. If any party desires that the terms 

of any settlement be a part of the record therein, those terms should be reduced to writing and filed 

with the Court within thirty (30) days of the entry of this judgment. The Court retains jurisdiction 

to vacate this order upon cause shown that any such settlement has not been completed and further 

litigation is necessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 19th day of September, 2024.
