Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(ii) allows plaintiffs to “dismiss an action without 

a court order by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.” The

Therefore, the parties’ stipulation is given full force and effect, and this case is dismissed with 

prejudice and without an award of costs or attorney’s fees to either party. The Clerk of the Court

shall close the case. 

Accordingly,

1. The parties’ stipulation for voluntary dismissal of this action with prejudice is 

effective as of the date it was filed; 

2. This case has been dismissed with prejudice; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 4, 2016
