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.

STIPULATION FOR DISMISSAL

 448883.1

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). Once the

stipulation between the parties who have appeared is properly filed or made in open court, no order

of the court is necessary to effectuate dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 41(a)(1)(ii); Eitel, 782 F.2d at

1473 n.4. Because Plaintiff has filed a stipulation for dismissal without 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); In re Wolf, 842 F.2d at 466; Gardiner, 747 F.2d at

1189; see also Gambale, 377 F.3d at 139; Commercial Space Mgmt, 193 F.3d at 1077; cf. Wilson,

111 F.3d at 692. 

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 Without Prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
