Civil Action No. 11-cv-00930-REB-BNB

Judge Robert E. Blackburn
ORDER DISMISSING DEFENDANT,
THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, ONLY
Blackburn, J.
The matter is before me on the United States of America's Unopposed Joint Motion and Stipulation For Dismissal [#54] filed February 27, 2012. After reviewing the motion and the file, I conclude that the motion should be granted and plaintiff's claims against defendant, The Internal Revenue Service, should be dismissed with prejudice.
"[#54]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's electronic case filing and management system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the United States of America's Unopposed Joint Motion and Stipulation For Dismissal [#54] filed February 27, 2012, is GRANTED;
2. That plaintiff's claims against defendant, The Internal Revenue Service, are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE with each of the affected parties to pay its own attorney fees and costs; and
3. That defendant, The Internal Revenue Service, is DROPPED as a named party to this action, and the case caption is amended accordingly.
Dated February 28, 2012, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
