UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 MICHAEL EUGENE SCOTT, Case No. 1:18-cv-01480-NONE-JLT

Plaintiff, ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK

OF COURT TO CLOSE CASE

v. D. ALBRIGHT, et al., Defendants. 16 The parties filed a joint stipulation that this action be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1). (Doc. 63.) Rule 41(a)(1) provides that a “plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing … a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). Once a dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is properly filed, no order of the court is necessary to effectuate dismissal; the dismissal is effective automatically. Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1078 (9th Cir. 1999). Thus, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of the Court to close this case. 24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
