The parties have filed as stipulation to dismiss this action with prejudice, with each party to bear

18

their own attorney fees and costs. (Doc. 9) The stipulation relies on Fed. R. Civ.P. 41(a)(1) which

19

provides, “the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: . . . a stipulation of

20

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

21

been filed, an order of the Court is not required to make the dismissal effective. Fed. R. Civ. P.

41(a)(1)(ii); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). Thus, the Clerk of Court is
