The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:

15

(1)
The “stipulation” submitted by plaintiffs and defendant North Coast Iron
Corp (“North Coast Iron”), docket no. 16, is not signed by counsel for all parties and is
16
treated as a joint motion for dismissal of plaintiffs’ claims against North Coast Iron. The
parties request that the Court enter a “judgment” of dismissal without prejudice; however,
17
judgment cannot be entered when claims are dismissed without prejudice. The motion is
instead treated as seeking dismissal of plaintiffs’ claims against North Coast Iron without
18
prejudice and is GRANTED. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2).
19

(2)
The remaining parties having stipulated that plaintiffs’ claims against
defendants M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Insurance Company, Travelers Casualty
20 and Surety Company of America, and Western Washington University are dismissed with
prejudice and without costs, docket no. 17, the Clerk is DIRECTED to CLOSE this case.
