UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RODOLFO C. ANDERSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

KEN CLARK, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00538-AWI-SMS PC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

CLOSE THIS CASE PURSUANT TO

PLAINTIFF’S NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY

DISMISSAL

(Doc. 12)

On July 9, 2007, plaintiff Rodolfo C. Anderson filed a notice of voluntary dismissal.

“[U]nder Rule 41(a)(1)(i), ‘a plaintiff has an absolute right to voluntarily dismiss his action prior to

service by the defendant of an answer or a motion for summary judgment.’” Commercial Space

Mgmt. Co., Inc. v. Boeing Co., Inc., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999) (quoting Wilson v. City

of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997)). “[A] dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is effective on

filing, no court order is required, the parties are left as though no action had been brought, the

defendant can’t complain, and the district court lacks jurisdiction to do anything about it.” Id. at

1078. No defendant has filed an answer or other responsive pleading.

Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is HEREBY ORDERED to close the file in this case and

adjust the docket to reflect voluntary dismissal of this action pursuant to Rule 41(a). (Doc. 12.)

IT IS SO ORDERED.
