ORDER

Pending before the Court is the parties’ Rule 41(a) Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice. 

Doc. 40, filed November 10, 2020. The Rules of Civil Procedure permit a plaintiff to voluntarily 

dismiss the action without an order of the court “by filing a notice of dismissal before the opposing 

party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment” or “a stipulation signed by all 

parties who have appeared.” FED. R. CIV. P. 41(a)(1)(A). The joint stipulation is signed by both 

sides. 

Consequently, by operation of Fed. R. Civ. P. 41, this action has been dismissed in 

accordance with the joint notice. Therefore, the claims in this case are dismissed with prejudice 

with each party to bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs.

The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to close this case.

DONE and ORDERED this the 10th day of November 2020.
