CIV- F-04-5585 AWI TAG

ORDER DISMISSING WITH

PREJUDICE ONLY

DEFENDANT THOMAS

PRYOR WITH PREJUDICE IN

LIGHT OF THE PARTIES’S

RULE 41(a) VOLUNTARY

DISMISSAL

On January 29, 2007, the parties filed a stipulation for dismissal with prejudice as to

Defendant Thomas Pryor only. Further, at the pre-trial hearing of January 29, 2007, the parties

indicated their intention that Pryor be dismissed. It was further represented that Thomas Pryor

was now deceased. The January 29, 2007, stipulated dismissal is signed by each party who has

appeared in, and is currently a party to, this case.

Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides, in pertinent part:

(1) By Plaintiff; by Stipulation. . . . an action may be dismissed by the plaintiff

without order of court (i) by filing a notice of dismissal at any time before service

by the adverse party of an answer or of a motion for summary judgment,

whichever first occurs, or (ii) by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all

parties who have appeared . . . . 

(2) By Order of Court. Except as provided in paragraph (1) of this subdivision of

this rule, an action shall not be dismissed at the plaintiff's insistence save upon

order of the court and upon such terms and conditions as the court deems proper.

Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 41(a).

464, 466 (D.C. Cir. 1989) see also Gambale v. Deutsche Bank AG, 377 F.3d 133, 139 (2d Cir.

2004); Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999) cf.

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

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Thomas Pryor is DISMISSED

Stipulation For Dismissal.
