UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

J.A.J., a minor, through his mother and 

Next Friend, CRYSTAL BOTELLO, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

State of California Highway Patrol Officer 

EFRAIN JIMENEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:18-cv-01138-DAD-SKO

ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK TO 

TERMINATE PLAINTIFF SANTANA 

JUAREZ JIMENEZ

(Doc. 43)

On February 10, 2020, the parties filed a “Joint Stipulation . . . Dismissing, with Prejudice, 

the Claims of Plaintiff Santana Juarez Jimenez,” dismissing Plaintiff Santana Juarez Jimenez’s 

claims with prejudice pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (Doc. 43.)

In relevant part, Rule 41(a)(1)(A) provides as follows:

[A] 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.

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).

Because the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice under Rule 

41(a)(1)(A)(ii), this case has automatically terminated as to Plaintiff Santana Juarez Jimenez. See 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is directed to TERMINATE 

Plaintiff Santana Juarez Jimenez.

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 10, 2020 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
