SAN JOSE DIVISION

SHELBY GAIL HEIFETZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

TEXAS TURKEYS, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:15-cv-05726-EJD 

ORDER STRIKING STIPULATION TO 

DISMISS ACTION

Re: Dkt. No. 33

On July 25, 2016, Plaintiff and several defendants submitted a document entitled

“Stipulation to Dismiss Action with Prejudice Against Defendants Viscovich San Antonio, LLC; 

Benson Properties, Inc.; and Benson & Benson, Incorporated; and Reservation of Rights Against 

Co-Defendant Texas Turkeys, Inc.” (the “Stipulation”). Dkt. No. 33. According to that 

document, Plaintiff and several defendants agree that Plaintiff’s claims against Viscovich San 

Antonio, LLC, Benson Properties, Inc. and Benson & Benson, Incorporated should be dismissed 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). It also appears these same parties 

agree that “Plaintiff reserves her rights against Defendant Texas Turkeys, Inc.” 

The court cannot accept the Stipulation in its current format. Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) requires that a stipulation for dismissal of an action without a court order 

must be signed by all parties who have appeared. Here, the Stipulation is not signed by all parties 

who have appeared in this action; indeed, it is missing a signature on behalf of Defendant Texas 

Turkeys, Inc., which entered an appearance on January 6, 2016. Dkt. No. 7. Moreover, the 

“reservation of rights” language does not constitute a resolution of the claims asserted against 

Defendant Texas Turkeys, Inc. in the Complaint.

For these reasons, the Stipulation is STRICKEN. This action is not dismissed. The parties 

are advised that any subsequent stipulation for dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

41(a)(1)(A)(ii) must be consistent with this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 26, 2016
