UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LANTZ E. ARNELL,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 07cv0743-LAB (RBB)

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT

vs. MOTION TO DISMISS

JUDGE W. McADAM, Department 8

Superior Court of California, County of

San Diego, South County Judicial

District,

Defendants.

On April 24, 2007, Plaintiff filed his complaint. On June 12, Defendant moved to

dismiss. Defendant filed no answer and no motion for summary judgment. After further

proceedings, Plaintiff on August 9 filed a notice of dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.

41(a)(1)(i). Because Defendant had not filed an answer or motion for summary judgment,

Rule 41(a)(1)(i) permits him to withdraw his complaint unilaterally by filing a notice of

dismissal, as he did. 

Defendant’s pending motion to dismiss is therefore DENIED AS MOOT.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: August 13, 2007

HONORABLE LARRY ALAN BURNS

United States District Judge
