UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AURORA CERVANTES,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHAYRA SAO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00023---SAB

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT 

TO CLOSE CASE AND ADJUST DOCKET 

TO REFLECT VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

(ECF No. 15)

This action was filed on January 6, 2015. (ECF No. 1.) On January 11, 2016, Plaintiff 

filed a notice of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure. 

“[U]nder Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i), „a plaintiff has an absolute right to voluntarily dismiss his 

action prior to service by the defendant of an answer or a motion for summary judgment.‟ ” 

Commercial Space Mgmt. Co., Inc. v. Boeing Co., Inc., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999) 

(quoting Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997)). “[A] dismissal under 

Rule 41(a)(1) is effective on filing, no court order is required, the parties are left as though no 

action had been brought, the defendant can‟t complain, and the district court lacks jurisdiction to 

do anything about it.” Commercial Space Mgmt. Co., Inc., 193 F.3d at 1078. In this action, no 

defendant has filed an answer or other responsive pleading.
