ORDER

The parties seek dismissal of this action pursuant to Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure. Rule 41(a)(1), in relevant part, reads:

an action may be dismissed by the plaintiff without order of court (i)

by filing a notice of dismissal at any time before service by the

adverse party of an answer or of a motion for summary judgment,

whichever first occurs, or (ii) by filing a stipulation of dismissal

signed by all parties who have appeared in the action. Unless

otherwise stated in the notice of dismissal or stipulation, the dismissal

is without prejudice, except that a notice of dismissal operates as an

adjudication upon the merits when filed by a plaintiff who has once

dismissed in any court of the United States or of any state an action

based on or including the same claim.

Rule 41(a)(1)(ii) thus allows the parties to dismiss an action voluntarily, after service of an

answer, by filing a written stipulation to dismiss signed by all of the parties who have appeared,

although an oral stipulation in open court will also suffice. Carter v. Beverly Hills Sav. & Loan

Asso., 884 F.2d 1186, 1191 (9th Cir. 1989); Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1472-73 (9th Cir.

1986). Because Plaintiff has filed a stipulation for dismissal with prejudice as to all parties under

Rule 41(a)(1)(ii) that is signed by all parties who have made an appearance, this case has terminated. 

See Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 41(a)(1)(ii)

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED and the Clerk of the

Court is DIRECTED to close this case in light of the parties’ filed and signed Rule 41(a)(1)(ii)

Stipulation For Dismissal With Prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
