On October 4, 2017, Plaintiff Robert Pruitt and Defendant Key Energy Services, LLC filed a

17

stipulation to dismiss the action without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil

18

Procedure, under which “the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing . . . a

19

stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii).

Because all parties who have appeared in the action signed the stipulation (Doc. 30), it

21

“automatically terminate[d] the action.” Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997).

Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this action.
