UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On March 17, 2016, the parties filed a joint status report in which they informed the Court 

that the issues in this case have now been litigated in Bankruptcy Court. See Doc. No. 59. The 

parties’ counsel the end the status report by stating: “Wherefore, the parties hereby request that 

the Court dismiss this matter with prejudice.” Id. The Court construes the status report as a

stipulation for dismissal of this case with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

41(a)(1)(A)(ii). 

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 

RANDY YINGLING,

Plaintiff,

v.

SK FOODS, LP, et al.,

Defendants.

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); In re 

Wolf, 842 F.2d 464, 466 (D.C. Cir. 1989). 

Here, all parties who have appeared in this case have signed the stipulated dismissal. See

Doc. No. 59. Because all parties have signed the stipulated dismissal with prejudice, this case has 

terminated automatically. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1); Yesh Music, 727 F.3d at 362; Commercial 

Space, 193 F.3d at 1077.

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

parties’ properly filed and signed Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) Stipulation Of Dismissal With Prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 22, 2016
