Case: 1:17-CV-00530-LJO-JLT

The parties have filed as stipulation to dismiss this action as to Countryside Corp,

18

without prejudice and with each party to bear their own attorney fees and costs. (Doc. 11) The

19

stipulation relies on Fed. R. Civ.P. 41(a)(1) which provides, “the plaintiff may dismiss an

20

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

21

have appeared.”. . .” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). Once such a notice has been filed, an order of the

22

Court is not required to make the dismissal effective. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii); Wilson v.

23

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

24

to close this action as to defendant Countryside Corp. only in light of the stipulation signed

25

pursuant to Rule 41(a).

26
IT IS SO ORDERED.
