Stipulation of Dismissal

 

Rules for Use

 

Use this event when:

 

·         the entire case has settled (i.e. all remaining parties/claims are being dismissed) and all pending parties, who have appeared or filed any document, or their attorneys on their behalf, have signed the stipulation.

·         part of the case has settled (i.e. some, but not all, of the remaining parties/claims are being dismissed) and all pending parties, who are subject to the stipulation and  have appeared or filed any document, or their attorneys on their behalf, have signed the stipulation.

 

Before Efiling

 

See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41 Dismissal of Actions for use with Stipulation of Dismissal to make sure requirements are met. Although Rule 41 pertains to "Actions", the Clerk's Office will use it as a guide for stipulations that are as to fewer than all remaining claims in the case.  So when confirming the document has all the required signatures, please remember:

 

·         If it dismisses all remaining claims/parties in the case:

 

·         Each pending party who has appeared or filed any document:

 

·         is considered a pending party and their signature, or their attorneys signature on their behalf, is required, AND

·         may or may not be named as a filer in the body of the document. If they are not named as a filer, but are selected as a filer, leave the filers as is, AND

·         must be identified by name or "All defendants" on the document somewhere other than the style of the case (i.e., as a filer, as joining in the filing, or with the signature block of their attorney.)

 

·         A pending party who has never appeared and has not filed any document:

 

·         is not required to sign.

·         If the filing states that it is dismissing this party, this filing dismisses this party and no separate "Notice of Dismissal" is required.

·         Although QC is not required to do so, we prefer QC to search if plaintiff has filed a Motion for Default Judgment against a defendant who has not appeared. If there is a Motion for Default Judgment, contact chambers to see if you can terminate the case.
