KRISTINE G. BAKER, District Judge.
Before the Court is a stipulation of dismissal filed by plaintiff Ray Derden and separate defendant General Revenue Corporation (Dkt. No. 10). The parties stipulate and agree that this action is dismissed in its entirety without prejudice and without costs to any party (Id.). In the complaint, Mr. Derden alleges that "Does 1-10 (the `Collectors') are individual collectors employed by [General Revenue Corporation] and whose identities are currently unknown to" Mr. Derden. Does Defendants 1-10 have not filed an answer or appeared in the action.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1) provides that a "plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing[](i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared." Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). The stipulation of dismissal filed by the parties is signed by all parties who have appeared in the case and was filed before Does Defendants 1-10 filed an answer or made an appearance in the action. For these reasons, the joint stipulation accords with the terms of Rule 41(a)(1)(A). For good cause shown, the Court adopts the stipulation of dismissal (Dkt. No. 10). The action is dismissed without prejudice and without costs to any party.
So ordered.
