Disposition notice
On November 6, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California granted the parties' joint motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). The court explained that voluntary dismissal by stipulation ordinarily requires no court order, but the local civil rules require such a stipulation to be filed as a joint motion. Having considered the submission, the court granted the motion, dismissed the action without prejudice, ordered each party to bear its own costs and attorney's fees, and directed the Clerk of Court to close the case.
