FRANK H. ELMORE, Circuit Judge.

After due notice by or to all parties affected, or upon waiver of notice, a hearing was held before the court with respect to the matters disposed of by this order.

Counsel for the plaintiff and for the defendant Campbell having orally stipulated to the dismissal of the defendant Campbell, without prejudice, counsel for the defendant Southern Bell Tel. & Tel. Co. having been duly notified of this hearing and all counsel being present, the court finds—
