The parties in this matter having stipulated to dismiss the above-captioned action with

prejudice (Doc. 35). The parties seek dismissal of this action pursuant to Rule 41(a) of the Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 41(a)(1), in relevant part, reads:

an action may be dismissed by the plaintiff without order of court (i) by filing a notice

of dismissal at any time before service by the adverse party of an answer or of a

motion for summary judgment, whichever first occurs, or (ii) by filing a stipulation of

dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared in the action. Unless otherwise

stated in the notice of dismissal or stipulation, the dismissal is without prejudice,

except that a notice of dismissal operates as an adjudication upon the merits when

filed by a plaintiff who has once dismissed in any court of the United States or of any

state an action based on or including the same claim.

Rule 41(a)(1)(ii) thus allows the parties to dismiss an action voluntarily, after service of an answer,

by filing a written stipulation to dismiss signed by all of the parties who have appeared, although an

oral stipulation in open court will also suffice. Carter v. Beverly Hills Sav. & Loan Asso., 884 F.2d

1186, 1191 (9th Cir. 1989); Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1472-73 (9th Cir. 1986). Once the

stipulation between the parties who have appeared is properly filed or made in open court, no order

of the court is necessary to effectuate dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 41(a)(1)(ii); Eitel, 782 F.2d at

1473 n.4. Because Plaintiff has filed a stipulation for dismissal with prejudice as to all parties under

Rule 41(a)(1)(ii) that is signed by all parties who have made an appearance, this case has terminated. 

See Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 41(a)(1)(ii); In re Wolf, 842 F.2d at 466; Gardiner, 747 F.2d at 1189; see also

Gambale, 377 F.3d at 139; Commercial Space Mgmt, 193 F.3d at 1077; cf. Wilson, 111 F.3d at 692. 

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This matter is DISMISSED with prejudice.

2. A Further Status Conference set for April 28, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. (Doc. 32) is

VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
