DETRICH BEASLEY PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 4:21-cv-4049

SAMSAND, LLC DEFENDANT

ORDER Before the Court is the parties’ Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice. (ECF No. 12). The parties stipulate to the dismissal of this wage and hour case with prejudice. An action may be dismissed by “a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). The “entry of such a stipulation of dismissal is effective automatically and does not require judicial approval.” Gardiner v. A.H. Robins Co.,

747 F.2d 1180, 1189

(8th Cir. 1984). The instant stipulation of dismissal is signed by Plaintiff and Defendant. Thus, this case was effectively dismissed when the parties filed the instant stipulation. See Bogart v. Biggs, No. 2:20-cv-2033-PKH,

However, this order issues for purposes of maintaining the docket. To the extent that the parties’ stipulation (ECF No. 12) constitutes a motion, it is hereby GRANTED.
