Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). “The plaintiff may dismiss some or all of the defendants, or some or 

all of his claims, through a Rule 41(a)(1) notice,” and the dismissal “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).

Plaintiffs Daughter Doe, Mother Doe, Father Doe, Elaheh Vahdad, Mohsen Ghahremani, 

Shahin Ghahremani, Kourosh Ghahremani, Feliciano Duran, Masoumeh Shah Mohammadi, Iman 

Aghaei Dibaei, and Bita Haghgosh filed their notice before Defendants served either an answer or 

a motion for summary judgment. As such, Plaintiffs Daughter Doe, Mother Doe, Father Doe, 

Elaheh Vahdad, Mohsen Ghahremani, Shahin Ghahremani, Kourosh Ghahremani, Feliciano 

Duran, Masoumeh Shah Mohammadi, Iman Aghaei Dibaei, and Bita Haghgosh have voluntarily 

dismissed their claims without prejudice and this case has automatically terminated as to those

Plaintiffs. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). 

Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is directed to TERMINATE Plaintiffs Daughter Doe, 

Mother Doe, Father Doe, Elaheh Vahdad, Mohsen Ghahremani, Shahin Ghahremani, Kourosh 

Ghahremani, Feliciano Duran, Masoumeh Shah Mohammadi, Iman Aghaei Dibaei, and Bita 

Haghgosh. 

This case shall remain OPEN pending resolution of the remaining Plaintiffs’ claims against 

Defendants.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
