DISMISSED.
Before MURNAGHAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:


1
Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing this action with prejudice in accordance with the parties' voluntary stipulation.  A case may be voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff without order of the court "by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared in the action."   Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(ii).  Because the Appellant stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice, he is bound by it.   FDIC v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 942 F.2d 1032, 1038 (6th Cir.1991).  Accordingly, he has lost the opportunity to appeal any of the claims brought in this action.   See Seidman v. City of Beverly Hills, 785 F.2d 1447, 1448 (9th Cir.1986);   cf.  Distaff, Inc., v. Springfield Contracting Corp., 984 F.2d 108, 110 (4th Cir.1993) (plaintiff generally barred from appealing dismissal with prejudice granted on his own motion).


2
Therefore, we dismiss the appeal.  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and arguments would not aid the decisional process.


3
DISMISSED.
