CHRISTOPHER L. SEAMSTER, Plaintiff, v. J. SOTO, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
Plaintiff Christopher Lee Seamster is appearing pro se in this civil-rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On October 30, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss this action with prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (ECF No. 104.)
Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) provides, in pertinent part, that, "the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing . . . a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared." A voluntary stipulation to dismiss an action pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) automatically terminates the action without operation of a court order. Black Rock City, LLC v. Pershing Cty. Bd. Of Comm'rs., 637 F. App'x 488 (9th Cir. 2016) (citing Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999)).
In this case, Plaintiff and counsel for Defendant B. Legier have signed and dated a stipulation to dismiss this action, and filed it with the Court. In light of the parties' stipulation for voluntary dismissal, this action is terminated by operation of law without further order from the Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). All pending deadlines are terminated. Each party is to bear its own litigation costs, fees, and expenses of any type, including attorney's fees.
The Clerk of the Court is hereby directed to close this case pursuant to the parties' stipulation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 30, 2019
