UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On April 26, 2016, following a notice of settlement, Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary 

dismissal with prejudice. See Doc. No. 9.

 

Rule 41(a)(1), in relevant part, reads:

(A) . . . the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a 

notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion 

for summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who 

have appeared. . . . (B) Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the 

dismissal is without prejudice. 

The filing of a notice of voluntary dismissal with the court automatically terminates the 

action as to the defendants who are the subjects of the notice. Wilson v. City of San Jose, 

111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997); Concha v. London, 62 F.3d 1493, 1506 (9th Cir. 1995)

Here, no answers to Plaintiff’s complaint and no motions for summary judgment have been 

filed in this case, and it appears that no such documents have been served. Because Plaintiff has

exercised his right to voluntarily dismiss his complaint with prejudice under Rule 41(a)(1), this 

case has terminated automatically. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i); Wilson, 111 F.3d at 692. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall CLOSE this case in light of 

Plaintiff’s Rule 41(a)(1) voluntary dismissal with prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
