SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT SCHUTZA,

Plaintiff,

v.

NEWPORT DIVERSIFIED, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 19-CV-01642 W (MSB)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION FOR VOLUNTARY 

DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE 

PURSUANT TO FED. R. CIV. P. 

41(a)(2) [DOC. 12]

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for voluntary dismissal with

prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2). [Doc. 12.] Federal Rule 

of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1) allows a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss an action without a 

court order by filing “a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an 

answer or a motion for summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1). Defendants have 

neither served an answer nor a motion for summary judgment in this case. Thus, Plaintiff 

was free to dismiss the action without resort to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2).
