Background
The case was identified as a class action brought by Ronald Garcia and Michael Harrison against Harley-Davidson Motor Company Group, LLC. The opinion text does not describe the plaintiffs’ claims or the underlying dispute.
Disposition
The plaintiffs and defendant filed a joint stipulation under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). They agreed that the action would be dismissed with prejudice. Under the filing, the stipulated dismissal took effect immediately upon filing, and no court order was required. A dismissal with prejudice ends the action and generally bars the same claims from being brought again.
Effect of the Ruling
The filing did not decide the merits of the parties’ claims. Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero therefore made no ruling on whether either side was legally correct. The action was dismissed with prejudice based on the parties’ stipulation.
