Case No.: 1:14-cv-00397 DAD JLT
ORDER CLOSING CASE

On April 1, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss the matter. (Doc. 66) The

17

stipulation relies upon Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, under which “the plaintiff

18

may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing

19

party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal

20

signed by all parties who have appeared.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Once such a notice has

21

been filed, an order of the Court is not required for the dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii);

22

Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). Thus, the Clerk of Court is

23

DIRECTED to close this action in light of the notice of dismissal without prejudice filed and

24

properly signed pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii).
