UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHNATHAN HILL,

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

J. CLARK, et al., 

 Defendants.

1:13-cv-00386-EPG-PC

ORDER GIVING FULL EFFECT TO 

STIPULATION TO DISMISS CASE, WITH 

PREJUDICE, UNDER RULE 41

(ECF No. 107.)

ORDER FOR CLERK TO CLOSE CASE

Johnathan Hill is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action brought 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ' 1983. The case proceeds with Plaintiff=s original Complaint filed 

March 18, 2013, on Plaintiff=s Eighth Amendment claims, against Correctional Officer (C/O) J. 

Clark for use of excessive force, and against defendant C/O A. Rivas for failure to protect 

Plaintiff. (ECF No. 1.)1

The parties to this action have consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction under 28 

U.S.C. 636(c), and on August 10, 2015, this case was reassigned to Magistrate Judge Erica P. 

Grosjean for all further proceedings, including trial and entry of final judgment. (ECF No. 45.)

On April 7, 2016, a stipulation for voluntary dismissal with prejudice was filed with the 

Court, containing the signatures of Plaintiff and Counsel for Defendants Clark and Rivas. 

 

1 On January 24, 2014, the Court issued an order dismissing all other claims and defendants from 

this action, based on Plaintiff’s failure to state a claim under § 1983. (Doc. 17.)

(ECF No. 107.) The stipulation states that Plaintiff Johnathan Hill and Defendants J. Clark and 

A. Rivas have resolved this case in its entirety and therefore stipulate to a dismissal of this 

action with prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii).

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(ii) allows plaintiffs to “dismiss an action 

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

appeared.” The stipulation filed on April 7, 2016 is signed by all parties who have appeared in 

this case. Therefore, the parties’ stipulation is given full force and effect, and this case is 

dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk shall close the case. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The parties’ stipulation for voluntary dismissal of this action with prejudice is 

effective as of the date it was filed; 

2. This case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 7, 2016 /s/
