Pursuant to Rule 41(a), a 3 | plaintiff may dismiss an action without court order in one of two ways: (1) by filing a notice of 4 | dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment, 5 | or (2) by stipulation of all parties who have appeared. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)G) & (ii). 6 | Voluntary dismissal under this rule requires no action on the part of the court. See United States v. 7 | 475 Martin Lane, 545 F.3d 1134, 1145 (9th Cir. 2008) (voluntary dismissal pursuant to Rule 8 | 41(a)(1) is self-executing and requires no further action by court). 9 Here, the parties’ joint stipulation of dismissal is consistent with Federal Rule of Civil 10 | Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i1). Thus, the parties’ stipulated dismissal of this action with prejudice, 11 | with each party bearing that party’s own attorneys’ fees and costs, is effective upon its filing and 12 | without a court order. 13 Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is directed to CLOSE THE CASE. 14 15 IT IS SO ORDERED. 6 Dated: _ December 6, 2024 Charis [Tourn TED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ADRAED TA CTI ACE CAGE
