 On February 10, 2006, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss

this action “on the grounds that another action is pending in this

Court, Heidi M. Fitzer v. Chevron Corporation and Arlene Gaona,

No. 2:05-cv-00507-GEB-GGH (Fitzer I), between the same parties or

those in privity, arising out of the same transactional nucleus of

alleged facts . . . .” (Defs.’ Am. Notice of Mot. at 1.) Plaintiff

filed an Opposition to the motion on February 21, 2006, arguing “the

motion [to dismiss] is premature because there is no final judgment in

[Fitzer I].” (Pl.’s Opp’n at 1.) However, on February 27, 2006, an

Order was filed in Fitzer I granting summary judgment on all the

federal claims and dismissing the remaining state claims without

prejudice. (Order, No. 2:05-cv-00507, Feb. 27, 2006.)

On March 3, 2006, Defendants filed a Reply and a

Supplemental Brief in support of their Motion to Dismiss, in which

they raise new arguments that should be the subject of a noticed

motion. Since these new arguments reveal it is unnecessary to decide

the pending motion, Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss which was filed

February 10, 2006, is deemed withdrawn. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: March 9, 2006
