UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TAMRA LAWRENCE,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHASE BANK U.S.A., N.A.,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01692---SAB

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT 

TO CLOSE CASE AND ADJUST DOCKET 

TO REFLECT VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

(ECF No. 34)

This action was filed on October 29, 2014. (ECF No. 1.) On July 22, 2016, the parties 

filed a stipulation for dismissal with prejudice with each party to bear its own attorneys’ fees and 

costs pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (ECF No. 34.) 

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), a “plaintiff may dismiss an action 

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

appeared.” “[A] dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is effective on filing, no court order is required, 

the parties are left as though no action had been brought, the defendant can’t complain, and the 

district court lacks jurisdiction to do anything about it.” Commercial Space Mgmt. Co., Inc. v. 

Boing Co., Inc., 193 F.3d 1074, 1078 (9th Cir. 1999).
