UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID SALISBURY, 

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS, LLC,

Defendant.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:15-cv-01265---SKO

ORDER THAT CLERK OF COURT 

CLOSE CASE PURSUANT TO 

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

On December 16, 2015, Plaintiff David Salisbury filed a notice of voluntary dismissal 

under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1), requesting that his complaint be dismissed with prejudice in its 

entirety. (Doc. 13.) 

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

[A] plaintiff may dismiss an action without 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 

have appeared.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). "The plaintiff may dismiss some or all of the defendants, or 

some or all of his claims, through a Rule 41(a)(1) notice," and the dismissal "automatically 

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 Plaintiff filed a notice of dismissal before 

an answer or motion for summary judgment was filed by any defendant, this case has terminated. 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i).
