JAMES C. JUSTICE COMPANIES, INC., a Delaware Corporation DEFENDANT

ORDER Before the Court is the parties’ Stipulation of Dismissal without Prejudice. (ECF No. 8). The 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.

DAWSON SENIOR U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
