ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK TO CLOSE
THE ACTION BASED UPON THE PARTIES’
STIPULATION FOR DISMISSAL WITH
PREJUDICE
(Doc. 20)

15
16

On June 12, 2017, Junique Thompson and Defendant Big Lots Stores, Inc. filed a stipulation to

17

dismiss the action with prejudice pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, under

18

which “the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing . . . a stipulation of dismissal

19

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

20

appeared in the action signed the stipulation (Doc. 20), it “automatically terminate[d] the action.”

21

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

22

DIRECTED to close this action.
