UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On August 12, 2015, Plaintiff filed a notice of his voluntary dismissal of the action. (Doc. 8) 

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 . . .” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Once 

such a notice has been filed, an order of the Court is not required to make the dismissal effective. Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). Based upon the 

foregoing, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this action in light of the notice of dismissal 

with prejudice filed and properly signed pursuant to Rule 41(a). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 13, 2015 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston
