1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 TAMECUS REED, Case No. 1:20-cv-00121-NONE-JLT (PC) 12 Plaintiff, ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF THE COURT TO CLOSE CASE 13 v. 14 M. MIGUEL, et al., 15 Defendants. 16 17 The parties have filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of 18 Civil Procedure 41(a)(1). (Doc. 33.) The rule provides that a “plaintiff may dismiss an action 19 without a court order by filing … a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have 20 appeared.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). Once a dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is properly filed, 21 no order of the court is necessary to effectuate dismissal; the dismissal is effective automatically. 22 See Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1078 (9th Cir. 1999). 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// /// 1 Because the parties have filed a stipulation of dismissal, signed by all parties or their 2 counsel of record, this case has ended. Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of the Court 3 assign this case to a district judge for the purpose of closing the case and to close it. The Court 4 retains jurisdiction over this matter for purposes of enforcing the parties’ settlement agreement. 5 IT IS SO ORDERED. 6 7 Dated: January 27, 2021 /s/ Jennifer L.
