CHARLES B. JONES,

Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01335-JLT (PC)
ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF
THE COURT TO CLOSE CASE

R. SPEIDELL, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
17

The parties have filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of

18

Civil Procedure 41(a)(1). (Doc. 81.) The rule provides that a “plaintiff may dismiss an action

19

without a court order by filing . . . a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have

20

appeared.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). Once a dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is properly filed,

21

no order of the court is necessary to effectuate dismissal; the dismissal is effective automatically.

22

See Com. Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1078 (9th Cir. 1999). Because the

23

parties have filed a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties or their counsel of record, this

24

case has ended. Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of the Court to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated:

September 17, 2021

CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
