UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HENRIQUE LA VALLE DA SILVA 

FARIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 

CALIFORNIA,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-08388-PJH 

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S 

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

Re: Dkt. No. 15

The court is in receipt of plaintiff’s unopposed motion for dismissal of his complaint 

without prejudice. Dkt. 15. In it, plaintiff acknowledges defendant’s contention that the 

Eleventh Amendment bars his claims from being litigated in this court, id. ¶ 2, and

requests dismissal under Rule 41(a)(2) so that he may refile them in Alameda County 

Superior Court, id. ¶ 6. Plaintiff represents that counsel for defendant stated that 

defendant would not object to this motion and attaches an email from defense counsel 

substantiating that statement. Dkt. 15-1 at 7. 

Good cause appearing, the court hereby GRANTS plaintiff’s motion to dismiss his 

complaint without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2). This order is similarly without 

prejudice to any rights otherwise available to defendant in any forum that plaintiff may 

subsequently refile his claims.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
