UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY J. OLIVER,

Plaintiff,

v.

ABC LEGAL SERVICES, L.L.C., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00895-JLT-BAM

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

NOTICE OF DISMISSAL AS TO 

DEFENDANT COMMERCIAL PROCESS 

SERVING, INC. 

(Docs. 58, 62, 83) 

 Plaintiff Anthony J. Oliver, a prisoner proceeding pro se, initiated this civil action on July 

29, 2024. (Doc. 1.) On October 21, 2024, Plaintiff filed a request for entry of default as to 

Defendant Commercial Process Serving, Inc. (Doc. 58.) The same day, Defendant Commercial 

Process Serving, Inc. file a motion to dismiss. (Doc. 62.)

On November 12, 2024, Plaintiff filed a notice of dismissal as to Defendant Commercial 

Process Serving, Inc. without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

“41(a)(i)(A)(1).” (Doc. 83.) Because Defendant Commercial Process Serving, Inc. has not 

served an answer or motion for summary judgment, the Court will construe Plaintiff’s notice as 

one for dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i).
