ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF 

COURT TO ADMINISTRATIVELY

A DEFENDANT IN THIS ACTION

On August 5, 2014, Plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of defendant 

Progressive Casualty Insurance Company pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

41(a)(1)(A)(i). (Doc. 11.)

In relevant part, Rule 41(a)(1)(A) provides as follows:

[A] plaintiff may dismiss an action with a court order by filing: (i) a notice of 

dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for 

summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who

terminates the action as to the defendants who are the subjects of the notice." Wilson v. City of 

San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997).

Because Plaintiffs have filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of Defendant Progressive 

Casualty Insurance Company without prejudice, this defendant has been automatically 

dismissed from the suit without prejudice. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i).

Accordingly IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court administratively

terminate Progressive Casualty Insurance Company as a defendant in this action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
