Case No.: 1:16-cv-01872 DAD JLT
ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK TO CLOSE
THE ACTION BASED UPON THE PARTIES’
STIPULATION FOR DISMISSAL WITH
PREJUDICE
(Doc. 20)

15
16

On July 19, 2017, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss the action with prejudice and with

17

each side bearing their own costs and fees. They rely on Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil

18

Procedure which permits the plaintiff to 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).

20

Because all parties who have appeared in the action signed the stipulation (Doc. 20), it “automatically

21

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

22

the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this action.
