EL DORADO DIVISION
GENE JONES
v.

PLAINTIFF
Case No. 1:19-cv-1053

AMERCABLE INCORPORATED d/b/a
NEXANS AMERCABLE INCORPORATED

DEFENDANT

ORDER
Before the Court is the parties’ Stipulation for Dismissal. ECF No. 15. The parties
stipulate that this case should be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 41(a)(1). An action may be dismissed by “a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties
who have appeared.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). “Caselaw concerning stipulated dismissals
under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) is clear that the entry of such a stipulation of dismissal is effective
automatically and does not require judicial approval.” Gardiner v. A.H. Robins Co., 747 F.2d
1180, 1189 (8th Cir. 1984). The instant stipulation of dismissal is signed by Plaintiff and
Defendant. Thus, Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant were effectively dismissed when the parties
filed the instant stipulation. However, this order issues for purposes of maintaining the docket.
This case is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, with each party bearing its own costs.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 6th day of January, 2021.
