UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On November 30, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for dismissal of this action with 

prejudice. See Doc. No. 63. The stipulation is made pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

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

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

(A) . . . 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. . . . (B) Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the 

dismissal is without prejudice. 

Dismissals under Rule 41(a)(1)(A), when properly filed, are effective immediately and do not 

require a court order/court approval. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1); Yesh Music v. Lakewood 

Church, 727 F.3d 356, 362 (5th Cir. 2013); Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 

SARGIS SARKIZI,

Plaintiff,

GRAHAM PACKAGING, and DOES 1-25 

inclusive,

Defendants.

1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997); In re 

Wolf, 842 F.2d 464, 466 (D.C. Cir. 1989). 

Here, all parties who have appeared in this case have signed the stipulated dismissal. 

Because all parties have signed the stipulated dismissal with prejudice, this case has terminated 

automatically. See id. 

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall CLOSE this case in light of the

parties’ properly filed and signed Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) Stipulation Of Dismissal With Prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
