UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALFREDO BUENTELLO,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. GOREE, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:15-cv-00377-SKO (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF THE 

COURT TO SEND PLAINTIFF COPY OF 

COMPLAINT AND CLOSE CASE 

PURSUANT TO PLAINTIFF=S NOTICE 

OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

(Doc. 8)

On March 16, 2015, Plaintiff Alfredo Buentello filed a request for copies of his appeal 

exhibits and a notice of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

41(a)(1)(i). At this stage in the proceedings, Plaintiff has the absolute right to dismiss his claims, 

without prejudice. Duke Energy Trading and Marketing, L.L.C. v. Davis, 267 F.3d 1042, 1049 

(9th Cir. 2001). The filing of the notice itself has the effect of closing the action, and the Court no 

longer has jurisdiction over the claims. Id. 

Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is HEREBY DIRECTED to send Plaintiff a courtesy 

copy of his complaint and to close this action pursuant to Plaintiff’s notice of voluntary dismissal 

filed on March 16, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 19, 2015 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto
