12 Plaintiff, ORDER GRANTING PARTIES’ 13 v. JOINT MOTION TO DISMISS

14 GRACE DIGITAL, INC., (ECF No. 11) 15 Defendant.

16 17 18 Pending before the Court is the parties’ joint motion pursuant to Federal Rule of 19 Civil Procedure (“Rule”) 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) to dismiss the instant action. (ECF No. 11.) 20 Under Rule 41(a)(1), a plaintiff has an absolute right to voluntarily dismiss its action 21 by (1) filing a notice of voluntary dismissal before a defendant has filed an answer or 22 moved for summary judgment or (2) filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties 23 who have appeared. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A); see also Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 24 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). Dismissal is effective upon the filing of a notice or 25 stipulation, as described in Rule 41(a)(1)(A), and no court order is required. Stone v. 26 Woodford, No. CIV-F-05-845 AWI-DLB, 2007 WL 527766 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 16, 2007). A 27 dismissal is without prejudice unless the parties stipulate otherwise. Fed. R. Civ. P. 28 41(a)(1)(B). However, the local civil rules of this district require that where, as here, 1 || litigants seek voluntary dismissal pursuant to stipulation, in accordance with Rule 2 41(a)(1)(A)(a1), the stipulation of dismissal must be filed as a joint motion. See CivLR 7.2. 3 Having considered the parties’ submission, the Court GRANTS the Joint Motion. 4 ||(ECF No. 11.) Thus, the Court DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE the action against 5 || Defendant. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees. The Clerk of Court is 6 || directed to close the case. 7 IT IS SO ORDERED. 8 ~ 9 || DATED: July 29, 2025 ( Lili (Diyphan A 10 H n.
