ORDER CLOSING THE MATTER (Doc. 7)
On September 10, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation seeking to dismiss the action. (Doc. 7) The stipulation relies upon Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, under which "the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared." Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Once such a notice has been filed, an order of the Court is not required to effectuate the dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997).
Based upon the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
1. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this action in light of the notice of dismissal with prejudice filed and properly signed pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii).IT IS SO ORDERED.
