UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO DIVISION

California corporation,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 2:15-CV-02337-TLN-CKD 

On December 15, 2015, Defendant and Counterclaimant Andrew Cody 

(“Counterclaimant”) filed 23 counterclaims against Counter-Defendants APC Holding & 

Management, Inc., Capital Mailing Services, Inc., and Perice D. Sibley (“Counter-Defendants”). 

(Counterclaim, ECF No. at 23.) On January 5, 2016, Counter-Defendants moved to dismiss 

those claims. (ECF No. 27.) Counterclaimant filed a statement of non-opposition to the motion 

to dismiss, stating that he filed a state court action containing identical claims and therefore seeks

to dismiss the claims before this Court. (ECF No. 39.)

In response to Counterclaimant’s statement of non-opposition, Counter-Defendants have 

asked this Court to make a determination on the merits of their motion and to dismiss 

Counterclaimants claims without leave to amend. (ECF No. 41.) The Court declines to make 

such a determination and will permit Counterclaimant to withdraw his claims. Therefore, the 

Court hereby DISMISSES all claims contained within the counterclaim (ECF No. 23) without 

prejudice. As a result of this determination, Counter-Defendants APC Holding & Management

and Perice D. Sibley are hereby DISMISSED as parties from the instant litigation. The Court 

further DISMISSES Counter-Defendant’s request for judicial notice (ECF No. 28) as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
