The following excerpt is from Cal-Jones Properties v. Evans Pacific Corp., 216 Cal.App.3d 324, 264 Cal.Rptr. 737 (Cal. App. 1989):
1 An order dismissing the cross-complaint and granting the respondents' motion to confirm the good faith settlement was filed on October 4, 1988. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 581d, the dismissal order itself constituted a judgment of dismissal and is therefore appealable. (Chauncey v. Niems (1986) 182 Cal.App.3d 967, 971, 227 Cal.Rptr. 718.)
