United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

A.C.,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF SANTA CLARA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-03276-HSG 

ORDER RE: REQUEST FOR 

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

Re: Dkt. No. 127

The Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s request to voluntarily dismiss his § 1983 claim against 

Defendant Nathan Crescini (Dkt. No. 127), as well as Defendants’ objections (Dkt. Nos. 126, 

128). The Court lacks jurisdiction to grant the requested dismissal due to Defendant Crescini’s 

pending docketed appeal. While it is difficult to imagine that the appeal will go forward 

notwithstanding Plaintiff’s offer to dismiss the § 1983 claim with prejudice, Federal Rule of 

Appellate Procedure 42 governs the disposition of this issue. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
