AND JOSE ROY v. GARCIA 14 NORTH AMERICAN SPECIALTY 15 FLOORING, INC., et al., Defendants. 16 17 The parties have stipulated to dismiss the action as to Navigators Insurance Company, Roy’s 18 Flooring, Inc. and Jose Roy Garcia individually and formerly doing business as Roy’s Flooring. (Doc. 19 23 at 3) The stipulation relies upon Fed.R.Civ.P. 41, which permits the plaintiff to dismiss an action 20 without a court order “by filing . . . a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.” 21 Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). Because all parties who have appeared in the action signed the 22 stipulation, it “automatically terminate[d] the action.” Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 23 (9th Cir. 1997). Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this action as to these 24 defendants only. 25 26 IT IS SO ORDERED. 27 Dated: August 20, 2019 /s/ Jennifer L.
