STIPULATION AND ORDER OF 

DISMISSAL OF NANCY CANALE, AS 

TRUSTEE OF THE BERNARD CANALE 

AND NANCY CANALE 1998 

REVOCABLE TRUST, AND BERNARD 

CANALE, BY AND THROUGH HIS 

SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST NANCY 

CANALE

Pursuant to the Court’s Order of September 27, 2024 (ECF No. 77), Plaintiff United 

States of America (the “United States”) and Defendants Nancy Canale, as trustee of the Bernard 

Canale and Nancy Canale 1998 Revocable Trust, and Defendant Bernard Canale, by and through 

his successor in interest Nancy Canale (the “Canale Defendants”), submit this Stipulation of 

Dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)1:

1. On September 19, 2024, the United States and the Canale Defendants submitted a 

proposed Consent Order resolving the United States’ claims against the Canale Defendants, for 

entry by this Court. ECF No. 68.

2. On September 27, 2024, the Court entered the Consent Order. ECF No. 78.

3. As provided in Paragraph 26 of the Consent Order, the Court shall retain 

jurisdiction for a period of five (5) years after entry of the Consent Order, for the purpose of 

enforcing or interpreting the provisions of the Consent Order.

1 Although Rule 41 speaks in terms of dismissal of actions, the Rule may be used to dismiss all 

claims against individual defendants without dismissing the entire action. See Pedrina v. Chun, 

987 F.2d 608, 609-10 (9th Cir. 1993).

claims in this Civil Action against defendants other than the Canale Defendants. 

Dated this 3rd day of October, 2024.
