CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:19-cv-330-TFM-MU

ORDER
Pending before the Court is the parties’ Rule 41(a) Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice
(Doc. 18, filed 10/8/19). The Rules of Civil Procedure permit a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss the
action without an order of the court “by filing a notice of dismissal before the opposing party
serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment” or “a stipulation signed by all parties
who have appeared.” FED. R. CIV. P. 41(a)(1)(A). The joint stipulation is signed by both sides
and Plaintiff reserves his remaining rights that he may have under the Deepwater Horizon Medical
Benefits Class Action Settlement Agreement.1 Doc. 18.
Consequently, by operation of Fed. R. Civ. P. 41, this action has been dismissed in
accordance with the joint notice. Therefore, the claims in this case are dismissed with prejudice
with each party to bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs.
The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to close this case.
