UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On December 23, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss the entire action. (Doc. 34) 

The stipulation relies upon Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, under which “the plaintiff 

may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing 

party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal 

signed by all parties who have appeared.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Once such a notice has been 

filed, an order of the Court is not required for the dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii); Wilson v. 

City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). Thus, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close 

this action in light of the notice of dismissal with prejudice filed and properly signed pursuant to Rule 

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
