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

MITZI D. FARCHETTE PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 4:22-cv-4058

THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA DEFENDANT

ORDER Before the Court is Plaintiff Mitzi D. Farchette’s Stipulation of Dismissal. ECF No. 15. No response is necessary. The parties stipulate to the dismissal of Plaintiff’s claims with prejudice, with each side bearing her or its own costs. 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.,

(8th Cir. 1984). Thus, Plaintiff’s claims were effectively dismissed when the stipulation was filed. However, the instant Order issues for purposes of maintaining the docket. Therefore, to the extent that the instant stipulation (ECF No. 15) constitutes a motion, it is GRANTED. This case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, with the parties bearing her or its own costs. IT IS SO ORDERED, this 21st day of October, 2022. /s/ Susan O. Hickey Susan O. Hickey Chief United States District Judge
