PREJUDICE; ORDER
(Sacramento County Superior Court, Case No.
34-2016-00205510)

17 TO THE COURT AND ALL PARTIES:
18

Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff Kristen

19 Morrissey (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Tempur-Pedic North America, LLC, stipulate and jointly
20 request that this Court enter a dismissal with prejudice of Plaintiff’s Complaint in the above21 entitled action with respect to Defendant Tempur-Sealy International, Inc. only. This
22 stipulation arises from the following facts:
23

1.

Plaintiff named Tempur-Pedic North America, LLC as the only Defendant in the

24 Complaint in this action. Tempur-Pedic North America, LLC filed a motion to dismiss two of
25 Plaintiff’s claims, and Plaintiff agreed to file an Amended Complaint withdrawing those two
26 claims. On April 4, 2017, Plaintiff inadvertently named Tempur-Sealy International, Inc. instead
27 of Tempur-Pedic North America, LLC as the Defendant in her First Amended Complaint. [Dkt. 8]
