UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On July 6, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for dismissal of this case without prejudice 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). See Doc. No. 15. 

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); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). 

Here, no answers or summary judgment motions have been filed. Furthermore,

filed and signed Rule 41(a)(1) Stipulation Of Dismissal Without Prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
