(Doc. 38)

On February 17, 2021, the parties filed a stipulation dismissing Defendant Brown, without

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

all of his claims, through a Rule 41(a)(1) notice,” and the dismissal “automatically terminates the 

action as to the defendants who are the subjects of the notice.” Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111
