Case No.: 1:17-cv-0832-LJO- JLT
ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK TO UPDATE
THE DOCKET AND TERMINATE
CHRISTOPHER GUZMAN AND DILLON
MORGAN AS DEFENDANTS
(Doc. 72)

On May 3, 2019, Plaintiff filed a “Stipulated Notice of Dismissal,” indicating he was dismissing

18

the claims against defendants Christopher Guzman and Dillon Morgan with prejudice. (Doc. 72)

19

Pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “the plaintiff may dismiss an action

20

without a court order by filing … a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.”

21

Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii).

22

Because all parties signed the stipulation, the dismissal was effective without an order of the

23

Court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2). Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to update the

24

docket and terminate Christopher Guzman and Dillon Morgan as defendants in the action.
