SAN JOSE DIVISION

JOVITA MEZA,

Plaintiff,

v.

LOWE’S HOME CENTERS, LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-CV-02320-LHK 

ORDER DISMISSING CASE WITH 

PREJUDICE

Re: Dkt. No. 34

On March 10, 2016, Plaintiff Jovita Meza (“Plaintiff”) filed a Notice of Voluntary 

Dismissal to dismiss “Plaintiff’s Complaint in its entirety, with prejudice.” ECF No. 34. Where a 

litigant seeks dismissal after the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary 

judgment, the action may be dismissed only by court order or the joint stipulation of the parties. 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41. Defendant Lowe’s Home Centers, LLC (“Defendant”) did not sign Plaintiff’s 

Notice of Voluntary Dismissal. However, Defendant filed an answer May 18, 2015. ECF No. 1. 

Accordingly, a court order is required to dismiss the instant case. As Defendant has not filed any 

counterclaims in this action, the Court hereby DISMISSES the case with prejudice. The Clerk

shall close the case file.
