The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
Coughenour, United States District Judge:

17

This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ stipulated notice of dismissal (Dkt.

18

No. 225). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) provides that a “plaintiff may dismiss

19

an action without a court order by filing . . . a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who

20

have appeared.” Here, the parties nevertheless request that the Court enter a proposed order filed

21

with their stipulation. The parties have stipulated to dismissing all claims with prejudice and the

22

stipulation is signed by all parties who have appeared. (See Dkt. No. 225.) Thus, under Federal

23

Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), the stipulation is self-executing. All claims in this action

24

are DISMISSED with prejudice, without costs to any party and with each party to bear its own

25

attorney fees and other litigation expenses. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close this case.
