UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Melvin Ray Brummett, Jr. is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On January 8, 2020, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss this action with prejudice pursuant 

to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as the case has been resolved in its 

entirety. (ECF No. 27.)

a court order by filing . . . a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared. A 

voluntary stipulation to dismiss an action pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) automatically terminates the 

action without operation of a court order. Black Rock City, LLC v. Pershing Cty. Bd. of Comm’rs,
