THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Parties' 36 Joint Stipulation for Dismissal with Prejudice, filed June 26, 2017, wherein they stipulated pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) to the dismissal of this action with prejudice, with each side to bear its own attorneys' fees and costs. The Eleventh Circuit has stated that "the plain language of Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) requires that a stipulation filed pursuant to that subsection is self-executing and dismisses the case upon its becoming effective. The stipulation becomes effective upon filing unless it explicitly conditions its effectiveness on a subsequent occurrence. District courts need not and may not take action after the stipulation becomes effective because the stipulation dismisses the case and divests the district court of jurisdiction." Anago Franchising, Inc. v. Shaz, LLC, 677 F.3d 1272, 1278 (11th Cir. 2012). Because the Parties' Joint Stipulation did not "explicitly condition[] its effectiveness on a subsequent occurrence," id., this Court no longer has jurisdiction over this case and, accordingly, the case remains CLOSED. This entry constitutes the ENDORSED ORDER in its entirety. Signed by Judge Joan A. Lenard on 6/27/2017. (ae00) NOTICE: If there are sealed documents in this case, they may be unsealed after 1 year or as directed by Court Order, unless they have been designated to be permanently sealed. See Local Rule 5.4 and Administrative Order 2014-69.

ORDER DENYING Defendants' 12 Motion for Expedited Determination. On February 27, 2017, Defendant filed a 8 Motion to Dismiss and for More Definite Statement, which has not yet become ripe. Also on February 27, 2017, Defendant filed a stand-alone 9 Counterclaim. Defendant has not yet filed an Answer to Plaintiff's Complaint. On March 2, 2017, Defendants filed a 12 Motion for Expedited Determination of its Counterclaim and Motion to Dismiss. On March 17, 2017, Plaintiff filed a 19 Motion to Dismiss the Counterclaim and to Strike the Jury Demand contained therein.Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 13(a) states that "[a] pleading must state" a compulsory counterclaim, as defined by that Rule. Rule 13(b) states that "[a] pleading may state" a permissive counterclaim, as defined by that Rule. The Rules do not provide for stating a counterclaim outside of a "pleading." Indeed, Rule 12(a) only requires answer to a counterclaim when it is contained in a "pleading." Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)(B) ("A defendant must serve an answer to a counterclaim... within 21 days after being served with the pleading that states the counterclaim...."). Rule 7(a) dictates that "[o]nly these pleadings are allowed: (1) a complaint; (2) an answer to a complaint; (3) an answer to a counterclaim designated as a counterclaim; (4) an answer to a crossclaim; (5) a third-party complaint; (6) an answer to a third-party complaint; and (7) if the court orders one, a reply to an answer." "Because a counterclaim is not itself a pleading, to state a counterclaim consistently with Rule 7(a) and Rule 13, a party must file the counterclaim as part of a recognized pleading, i.e. an answer." ITL Int'l, Inc. v. Walton & Post, Inc., Case No. 1022096CVGRAHAM/TORRES, 2011 WL 13055064, at *1 (S.D. Fla. June 6, 2011) (quoting Allied Med. Assoc. v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., Civil Action No. 082434, 2009 WL 839063, at *2 (E.D. Pa. 2009)); see also Microsoft Corp. v. Ion Tech, Corp., 484 F. Supp. 2d 955, 965 (D. Minn. 2007) ("Counterclaims, however, must appear in a pleading...."); Bernstein v. IDT Corp., 582 F. Supp. 1079, 1089 (D. Del. 1984) (concluding that counterclaims and crossclaims should be dismissed and/or stricken for failure to state them in a Rule 7 pleading). Defendants' Counterclaim does not appear in a "pleading." Counterclaims that do not appear in a pleading are "not authorized by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure... [are] therefore, a nullity and should be stricken from the record." Mobley v. Safeco Ins. Co. of Ill., Case No. 6:12-cv-70-Orl-37DAB, 2012 WL 12916444, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Apr. 12, 2012). Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendants' 9 Counterclaim is STRICKEN as an unauthorized filing under the Federal Rules; Defendant's Motion for Expedited Determination is DENIED AS MOOT to the extent it requests expedited determination of the Counterclaim and DENIED to the extent it requests expedited determination of its 8 Motion to Dismiss. If the Parties seek a faster disposition, they may consent to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge. Plaintiff's Motion to Dismiss Counterclaim and Strike Jury Trial Demand, filed March 17, 2017 is DENIED AS MOOT. This entry constitutes the ENDORSED ORDER in its entirety. Signed by Judge Joan A. Lenard on 3/17/2017. (gie)
