UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On September 29, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation seeking to dismiss the action. 

(Doc. 39) 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 to effectuate the dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. P. 

41(a)(1)(ii); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). 

Based upon the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. 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.
