UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE ANTONIO GONZALEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

SALLIE MAE BANK, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 18cv2457-LAB (BGS)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The Court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss in part, dismissing one 

federal claim with prejudice and the other federal claim — along with a declaratory 

relief claim and supplemental state claims — without prejudice. The Court directed 

Plaintiff, if he thought he could successfully amend his one remaining federal claim, 

to seek leave to do so. Otherwise, the Court cautioned him, it would accept failure 

to seek leave to amend as a concession that the remaining claim could not be 

saved by amendment. In that instance, the federal claim would be dismissed with 

prejudice, and the supplemental state claims would be dismissed without 

prejudice.

Plaintiff then filed an ex parte motion, conceding that his federal claims 

should be dismissed with prejudice, and asking that other claims be dismissed 

without prejudice. Defendants did not oppose this, or object.
