UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE

C09-1084-JCC ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This matter comes before the Court on the parties' stipulation of settlement and joint motion for dismissal. (Dkt. No. 15). For the reasons explained below, the Court hereby GRANTS the motion, and DISMISSES this action with prejudice. This matter commenced on July 30, 2009, when Plaintiffs filed a class-action complaint.

Plaintiffs and Defendant therefore negotiated the agreement now before the Court. (Id.). Finding good cause in the joint motion for dismissal and finding no term in the stipulation of settlement that purports to bind any party other than the named parties in this matter, The Court hereby DISMISSES this case with prejudice.

DATED this 7th day of October, 2009.
