UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

AKAU, et al.,

 Defendants.

No. 1:24-cv-00512-SAB (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO 

TERMINATE ACTION PURSUANT TO 

PARTIES’ STIPULATION FOR 

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

(ECF No. 25)

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action filed pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. 

On December 17, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss this action with prejudice 

pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as the case has been 

resolved in its entirety. (ECF No. 25.)

Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) provides in pertinent part that, “the plaintiff may dismiss an action 

without a court order by filing . . . a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have 

appeared. A voluntary stipulation to dismiss an action pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) 

automatically terminates the action without operation of a court order.” Black Rock City, LLC v. 

Pershing Cty. Bd. of Comm’rs, 637 F. App’x 488 (9th Cir. 2016) (citing Commercial Space 

Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999)). Here, Plaintiff and counsel for

terminate all pending motions and deadlines and close this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
