v.
UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT DENVER,
Defendant.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Judge Philip A. Brimmer
This matter is before the Court on the parties’ Stipulated Motion f or Dismissal
With Prejudice [Docket No. 22].
The stipulated motion complies with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
41(a)(1)(A)(ii), which provides that the “plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court
order by filing: . . . a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.”
(emphasis added). Furthermore, “[u]nless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the
dismissal is without prejudice.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(B) (emphasis added). Here,
however, the parties have agreed to the dismissal of this action with prejudice.
Therefore, the case was dismissed with prejudice as of the entry of the parties’ joint
stipulation for dismissal with prejudice. No order of dismissal is necessary.
DATED April 30, 2015.
