Authorizes a discontinuance without an order in actions where an unrepresented party has not responded to a request for a stipulation

Summary

The bill changes civil practice rules so a plaintiff can file a written stipulation to end a lawsuit against a defendant who has no attorney and has not replied to a notice, as long as specific conditions are met. It applies only when the case involves no minors, incompetent persons, conservatees, or third‑party interests, and requires proof that 60 days have passed without a response. This lets courts close unresponsive cases more efficiently.
