Pacific Coast Building Products, Inc. v. Certainteed Gypsum Manufacturing, Inc.
Trial Court Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS TEXARKANA DIVISION
PACIFIC COAST BUILDING PRODUCTS, INC. and PABCO BUILDING PRODUCTS, LLC PLAINTIFFS
v. Case No. 4:18-cv-4165
CERTAINTEED GYPSUM MANUFACTURING, INC. DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Before the Court is the parties’ Stipulation of Dismissal. ECF No. 61. The parties request that all claims in this matter be dismissed with prejudice, with each side bearing its own costs and fees. 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.,
747 F.2d 1180, 1189(8th Cir. 1984). Thus, all claims were effectively dismissed when the parties filed the instant stipulation. However, this order issues for the purpose of maintaining the Court’s docket. This case is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. If any party desires that the terms of any settlement be a part of the record therein, those terms should be reduced to writing and filed with the Court within thirty (30) days of the entry of this judgment. The Court retains jurisdiction to vacate this order upon cause shown that any such settlement has not been completed and further litigation is necessary. IT IS SO ORDERED, this 22nd day of August, 2022.
