UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 BROOKE SHAEFRON AUGUSTE, Case No. 1:19-cv-00336-NONE-SKO (PC)
Plaintiff,
ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF
v. THE COURT TO CLOSE CASE
V. BETANCOURT, et al., Defendants. 16 The parties have filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1). (Doc. 45.) The rule 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. See Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1078 (9th Cir. 1999). Because the parties have filed a stipulation of dismissal, signed by all parties or their counsel of record, this case has ended. Accordingly, the Court directs the Clerk of the Court to close this case.
