IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS TEXARKANA DIVISION

EDMOND SHACKLEFORD “FORD” ROCHELLE PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 4:20-cv-4043

DAVID ULRICH and PRO TRUCKING, INC. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Before the Court is a Joint Stipulation for Dismissal with Prejudice ECF No. 55. The parties stipulate that this case should be dismissed 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). “Caselaw concerning stipulated dismissals under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) is clear that the entry of such a stipulation of dismissal is effective automatically and does not require judicial approval.” Gardiner v. A.H. Robins Co.,

(8th Cir. 1984). The instant stipulation of dismissal is signed by Plaintiff and Defendants. Thus, the parties’ claims against each other were effectively dismissed when the parties filed the instant stipulation. However, this order issues for purposes of maintaining the docket. Accordingly, this case is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, with each party to bear its own fees and costs. IT IS SO ORDERED, this 17th day of August, 2022. /s/ Susan O. Hickey Susan O. Hickey Chief United States District Judge
