UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On November 12, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for dismissal of this case with

prejudice. See Doc. No. 10. The stipulation cites Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1). 

Rule 41(a)(1), in relevant part, reads:

(A) . . . the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a 

notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion 

for summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who 

have appeared. . . . (B) Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the 

dismissal is without prejudice. 

Dismissals under Rule 41(a)(1)(A), when properly filed, are effective immediately and do not 

require a court order/court approval. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1); Yesh Music v. Lakewood 

Church, 727 F.3d 356, 362 (5th Cir. 2013); Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 

1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997).

Here, no answers or motions for summary judgment have been filed and there is no 

indication that such documents have been served. Therefore, by the plain language of Rule 

41(a)(1)(A)(i), with the filing of dismissal with prejudice, this case terminated automatically.1 See

id. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall CLOSE this case in light of 

Rule 41(a)(1)(A) notice of dismissal with prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 13, 2015

Plaintiff’s counsel and counsel for Defendants each signed the stipulation. Because no answers or summary 

judgment motions were filed or served, it was unnecessary for Defendants to sign anything. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 

41(a)(1)(A)(i).
