UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On the January 22, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal. (Doc. 30) The notice 

relies upon Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, under which “the 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). Once such a notice has been filed, an order of the 

Court is not required for the dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 

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

Here, Defendants, Chase Home Finance, LLC, Christiana Bank & Trust Co., Lasalle Bank, 

N.A., Washington Mutual Bank, FSB, and Defendants, Fawn Kennedy Dessy, Ronald Dessy, Barbara 

Ferranti, have filed motions to dismiss. (Docs. 18, 23) However, these motions do not prevent 

dismissal without further order of the Court. See Concha v. London, 62 F.3d 1493, 1506 (9th 

Cir.1995). [“Even if the defendant has filed a motion to dismiss, the plaintiff may terminate his action

signed pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
