United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES W SCHUBERT,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, et 

al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 17-cv-00856-KAW 

ORDER GRANTING REQUEST TO 

DISMISS ACTION WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE

Re: Dkt. No. 65

On August 19, 2019, Plaintiff James W. Schubert personally filed a request that the Court 

dismiss the case without prejudice. (Pl.’s Req. to Dismiss, Dkt. No. 65.) Defendants’ opposition 

was due on September 3, 2019. As of the date of this order, no opposition has been filed.

Currently, Plaintiff’s attorney of record is Daniel Alan Grout. Mr. Grout, however, has 

failed to respond to numerous orders, including a July 31, 2019 order to show cause. (Dkt. No. 

64; see also Dkt. Nos. 59, 60.) Thus, the Court finds that Mr. Grout has effectively abandoned 

Plaintiff, and accepts Plaintiff’s filing.

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s request to dismiss the case without prejudice. 

The Clerk of the Court is directed to close the case and serve a copy of this order on Plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 10, 2019
