- 1 - 06cv2807

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERALD MARKS,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 06cv619-LAB (BLM)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

vs.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

WHITTIER INSTITUTE FOR DIABETES;

LISA RIVARD; and DOES 1 through 10

inclusive,

Defendants.

On January 5, 2007, the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal and proposed order in

this case. On December 28, 2006, however, Plaintiff had filed a separate but apparently

substantially identical complaint, which was assigned case number 06CV2807. By an order

issued January 10, 2007,1 the new case was reassigned from Judge Thomas Whelan to

Judge Larry Burns.

The Court construes the stipulation of dismissal as a joint motion for dismissal without

prejudice. The Court GRANTS the joint motion, and DISMISSES the complaint in this case

WITHOUT PREJUDICE. All pending case management dates are hereby VACATED.

The parties are cautioned that under the e-filing policies and procedures now in force,

stipulations are not to be e-filed. See Electronic Case Filing Administrative Policies and
