ORDER OF DISMISSAL AS TO DEFENDANT
MOUNTAIN STATES INDEMNITY COMPANY, ONLY
Blackburn, J.
The matter is before me on the Stipulation of Dismissal [#57] filed December 6, 2012. After reviewing the stipulation and the record, I conclude that the stipulation should be approved and that plaintiffs' claims against defendant Mountain States Indemnity Company should be dismissed without prejudice.
"[#57]" 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 Stipulation of Dismissal [#57] filed December 6, 2012, is APPROVED;
2. That plaintiffs' claims against defendant Mountain States Indemnity Company are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE with each of the affected parties to pay its own attorney fees and costs; and
3. That defendant Mountain States Indemnity Company is DROPPED as a named party to this action, and the case caption is amended accordingly.
Dated December 7, 2012, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
