Case No.: 5:18-cv-2103-LCB

MEMORANDUM

The parties have filed a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal (Doc. 10). Parties may

dismiss a lawsuit voluntarily by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties 

who have appeared, except in suits involving class or derivative actions, 

unincorporated associations, and receiverships. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). None 

of these exceptions apply in this case. 

Because the parties have filed a joint stipulation of dismissal signed by all 

parties who have appeared, the case was dismissed with prejudice immediately upon 

filing of the stipulation. Love v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 865 F.3d 1322, 1325 (11th 

Cir. 2017) (holding that a stipulation of dismissal is “self-executing” and dismisses 

the case upon proper filing). 

The Clerk of Court is therefore DIRECTED to close this case.
