UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On the February 22, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss the matter. (Doc. 10) The 

stipulation relies upon Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, under which “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.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Once such a notice has been filed, an 

order of the Court is not required for the dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii); Wilson v. City of San 

Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). Thus, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this action 

in light of the notice of dismissal with prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
