UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIO PERALEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

GREGORY CATTON, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:14-cv-00436-SKO

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT 

TO CLOSE THE CASE

At a settlement conference on January 25, 2016, this case was settled and the terms of the 

parties' settlement were placed on the record. On March 11, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation 

for dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(ii) with prejudice and without 

costs or fees to either party. Once a stipulation between parties who have appeared is properly 

filed or made in open court, no order of the court is necessary to effectuate dismissal. Caselaw 

concerning stipulated dismissals under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) is clear that the entry of such a 

stipulation of dismissal is effective automatically and does not require judicial approval. 

Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999).
