UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

SUI PING KWONG MOCK,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-00200-VKD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE 

SETTLEMENT

Re: Dkt. No. 55

Plaintiff having filed a Notice of Settlement (Dkt. No. 55), the Court orders as follows:

On or before February 14, 2020, a stipulated dismissal shall be filed pursuant to Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 41(a)(1). Rule 41(a)(1) permits a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss a case without a court 

order (i) by notice if the defendant has not filed an answer or motion for summary judgment, or 

(ii) by stipulation signed by all parties who have appeared. Because defendant answered the 

complaint and filed cross-claims (Dkt. Nos. 10, 12), plaintiff may not voluntarily dismiss this case 

absent a stipulation also signed by all parties who have appeared in this action or an order from the 

Court.1

If a dismissal is not filed by the specified date, then the parties shall appear in Courtroom 

2, 5th Floor of the United States District Court, 280 South First Street, San Jose, California on 

February 25, 2020, 10:00 a.m. and show cause, if any, why the case should not be dismissed 

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). Additionally, the parties shall file a statement in response to this 

Order to Show Cause no later than February 18, 2020 advising as to (1) the status of their 

 

1 Defendant Mock having failed to file a statement in response to the Court’s December 16, 2019 

order (Dkt. No. 56), the Court assumes that all cross-claims have also been settled.

activities in finalizing settlement; and (2) how much additional time, if any, is requested to finalize 

the settlement and file the dismissal.

vacated and the parties need not file a statement in response to this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
