ORDER DIRECTING 

CLERK TO CLOSE CASE

On August 13, 2015, Plaintiff Johanson Transportation Services (“Plaintiff”) filed a 

notice of voluntary dismissal against all Defendants, without prejudice, pursuant to Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(i). (Doc. 29.) 

In relevant part, Rule 41(a)(1) 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 

Case 1:15-cv-00049---SKO Document 30 Filed 08/17/15 Page 1 of 2

San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). 

Because Plaintiff filed a notice of dismissal of the entire action under Rule 

41(a)(1)(A)(i), the claims against all Defendants have been automatically terminated without 

prejudice. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i); 41(a)(1)(B).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. The entire matter is DISMISSED with prejudice as to all Defendants; and

2. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
