Tribble v. The NRECA Long-Term Disability Plan and Natural Rural Electric Cooperative Association

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
EL DORADO DIVISION
MELISSA TRIBBLE 	PLAINTIFF
v. 	Case No. 1:23-cv-1103
THE NRECA LONG-TERM
DISABILITY PLAN 	DEFENDANT
ORDER
Before the Court is a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal. 	ECF No. 20. 	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). 	The
instant stipulation of dismissal is signed by Plaintiff and Defendant. 	Thus, all claims in this matter
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.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 25th day of March, 2025.
