Swanson et al v. State Farm Fire and Casualty Company

Filing 17

MINUTE ORDER: This matter comes before the Court on the parties' stipulated motion for an order of dismissal (Dkt. No. 16 ). Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A), a case may be dismissed without a court order if there is "a no tice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment" or "a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared." Both conditions are met here. Accordingly, the parties' stipulation is self-executing and this action is DISMISSED with prejudice. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close this case. Authorized by U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour. (SB)
