STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE OF DEFENDANT OUTDOOR CAP COMPANY, INC.,

AND ORDER THEREON

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.

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 with 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.
