Because defendants Wells Fargo & Co. and Wells Fargo Investments, LLC were not signatories to the stipulation, it is void and therefore vacated. See N.D. L.R. 7-12 ("[e]very stipulation requesting judicial action must be in writing signed by all affected parties or their counsel. ) Because, like the parties' actual stipulation relating the cases dated December 1, 2008, the alleged stipulation filed on December 9,
