(Doc. 20)

17

On November 17, 2017, Plaintiff Thomas Morrison and Defendant DeVry University, Inc.,

18

stipulated to dismiss the action with prejudice. (Doc. 20) Pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of

19

Civil Procedure, “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)(1)(A)(ii).

21

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

22

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

23

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