UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

N. VONG,

Plaintiff,

v.

SIX UNKNOWN NAMES AGENTS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:06-CV-00582 AWI SMS P

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION PURSUANT

TO PLAINTIFF’S NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY

DISMISSAL

(Doc. 4)

On June 28, 2006, plaintiff N. Vong filed a notice of voluntary dismissal. “[U]nder Rule 1

41(a)(1)(i), ‘a plaintiff has an absolute right to voluntarily dismiss his action prior to service by the

defendant of an answer or a motion for summary judgment.’” Commercial Space Mgmt. Co., Inc.

v. Boeing Co., Inc., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999) (quoting Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111

F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997)). “[A] dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is effective on filing, no court

order is required, the parties are left as though no action had been brought, the defendant can’t

complain, and the district court lacks jurisdiction to do anything about it.” Id. at 1078. No defendant

has filed an answer or other responsive pleading.
