UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEREMY MEJIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. KELLOGG,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:19-cv-00509-BAM (PC)

ORDER REGARDING STIPULATION OF

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL WITH 

PREJUDICE PURSUANT TO FED. R. CIV. P. 

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

(ECF No. 23)

On February 24, 2020, Plaintiff Jeremy Mejia and Defendant D. Kellogg filed a 

stipulation to dismiss this entire action, with prejudice, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). (ECF No. 23.) The stipulation further states that each party shall bear 

its own costs and fees.

Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) provides, in relevant part, that “the plaintiff may dismiss an action 

without a court order by filing ... a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have 

appeared.” In this case, since Plaintiff and Defendant’s counsel signed and dated the stipulation 

of dismissal, the filing of the stipulation “automatically terminate[d] the action[.]” Wilson v. City 

of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997) (citations omitted).

Accordingly, this action is terminated by operation of law without further order from the 

Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
