UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THERESA BROOKE, 

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT LP,

et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:15-cv-01824---SKO

ORDER THAT CLERK OF COURT 

CLOSE CASE PURSUANT TO 

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

On January 7, 2016, Plaintiff Theresa Brooke filed a notice of voluntary dismissal under 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1), requesting that her complaint be dismissed with prejudice in its entirety. 

(Doc. 13.) 

In relevant part, Rule 41(a)(1)(A) provides as follows:

[A] plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a notice of 

dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for 

summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who 

have appeared.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). "The plaintiff may dismiss some or all of the defendants, or 

some or all of his claims, through a Rule 41(a)(1) notice," and the dismissal "automatically 

terminates the action as to the defendants who are the subjects of the notice." Wilson v. City of 

San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). Because Plaintiff filed a notice of dismissal before 

an answer or motion for summary judgment was filed by any defendant, this case has terminated
