Plaintiffs, A.M. Rashed CHOWDHURY and Mumtaz CHOWDHURY, hereby 

voluntarily dismiss the above-captioned case. Northern District of California, Local 

Rules 3-2(c) and (e) require that, with limited exceptions, civil actions and proceedings

be assigned by the clerk to a court serving the county in which the action arises. 

Plaintiffs’ action arises in Santa Clara County. Plaintiffs hereby dismiss the instant case 

in the San Francisco Division, as it should have properly been brought in the San Jose 

Division. Local Rule 3-2(e). Plaintiffs are filing a new Complaint designating the San 

Jose Division as the proper venue for assignment. The new Complaint names the officer 

in charge of the San Jose District Office of the United States Citizenship and Immigration 

Services as the lead Defendant. Counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendants in both actions are 

filing a stipulation in the new action stating that dismissal of the herein Complaint and 

refiling of a new Complaint designating San Jose as the proper Division is the appropriate 

course of action. 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1), this action may be 

dismissed voluntarily by Plaintiffs without order of the court, as the notice of dismissal is 

filed before service by Defendants of an answer or motion for summary judgment. 

Dated: November 17, 2006 Respectfully submitted,
