v.
EXPERIAN INFORMATION SOLUTIONS,
INC.; TRANS UNION LLC; and THE BANK
OF MISSOURI,
Defendants.

ORDER
Before the Court is a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice as to The Bank of
Missouri, (doc. 20). The Joint Stipulation is signed by counsel for Plaintiff, counsel for Defendant
Trans Union LLC, and counsel for Defendant The Bank of Missouri. 1 (Id.) Therein, the parties
notify the Court that Plaintiff and The Bank of Missouri have stipulated to the dismissal of each
claim and count asserted in this case by Plaintiff against The Bank of Missouri, and that each of
them will bear their own attorney’s fees, costs and expenses. (Id.) Pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), The Bank of Missouri has been DISMISSED with prejudice
from this action. The Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to terminate The Bank of Missouri from
this case and to update the docket accordingly.
Additionally, Plaintiff has filed a Notice of Settlement as to Experian Information
Solutions, Inc., (doc. 17), a Notice of Settlement as to Trans Union LLC, (doc. 18). In both of

those filings, Plaintiff states that she and the specified Defendant have reached a settlement with
regard to the case and are in the process of drafting and finalizing the settlement documents. (Docs.
17, 18.) She states that, once the settlement documents are executed, the parties will file the
appropriate dismissal documents. (Docs. 17, 18.) As the two specified Defendants are the sole
remaining Defendants in the case, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to
ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this action. See Heape v. Flanagan, No. 6:07-CV-12, 2008
WL 2439736 (S.D. Ga. June 9, 2008).
Within forty-five (45) days of the date this Order is entered, the parties—if they wish—
may present a dismissal judgment, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2),
incorporating the terms of their settlement, so the Court may retain jurisdiction to enforce the
agreement. In the alternative, the parties may simply file a joint stipulation of dismissal. If the
parties fail to file a dismissal (or, if necessary, move to reopen the case) within forty-five (45)
days, the Court will sua sponte dismiss the case with prejudice. Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins.
Co. of Am., 511 U.S. 375, 381–82 (1994).
SO ORDERED, this 7th day of February, 2024.
