San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997).

Because Plaintiff filed a notice of dismissal of this case without prejudice as to all 

defendants under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i), this case has automatically terminated. Fed. R. Civ. P. 

41(a)(1)(A)(i).

Accordingly IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is to close this 

case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
