UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On July 23, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for dismissal of this case with prejudice 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). See Doc. No. 30. The stipulation 

states that it is with prejudice to Plaintiff filing any action (in State or Federal court) against any 

defendant (both named and unnamed) for conduct that could have been included in the Plaintiff’s 

complaint. See id. The stipulation also includes a waiver rights by Plaintiff. 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 

ROBERTA GALAVIZ,
