judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.” Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Here, the parties have filed a stipulation of dismissal, with prejudice, signed

for Defendant and filed on January 29, 2020, is effective as of the date it was filed;

3. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to close the file in this case and adjust the 

docket to reflect voluntary dismissal of this action pursuant to Rule 41(a). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
